Volume 1 (of 4) is the first part of Peter G Burton's major 2011 work HUMAN COGNITION. >His cybernetic account of the origin of the mind, and logical explanation of the growth of its empowering repertoire, fills in the understanding missing since four centuries ago, Rene Descartes posed the mind, thought and knowledge as the essence of our being: "cogito ergo sum". >For emerging adults, and many whose busy careers are now the subject of reflection, in either case seeking to understand their own humanity, there can be no better starting point. >Reading level is University/College entry.

Peter Burton explains here (Volume 1), by introducing a detailed scientific framework of analysis of human cognition, how to understand what the mind is, how it becomes empowered and how to solve Rene Descartes' four-century old problem of mind-brain duality. >Volume 1 introduces a cybernetic model which does not require a detailed understanding of just how underlying human cognitive processing is modularized and case-managed in the brain, which his Cognitive System Theory develops in the later parts of Human Cognition (in Volumes 2, 3 & 4). >The essence of cognitive control, involving hesitancy to commit to action in one or more cognitive cycles and which is the subject of Volume 1, is the means by which we eventually gain control over the otherwise automatic cycling of cognition which is our genetic endowment. The detailed control model of Cognitive System Theory reveals that our consciousness changes its control morphology through several major stages in early cognitive development (Volume 4). These empower the mind and refine our knowledge (Volume 3) to deliver our autobiographical sense of time, which provides our remarkable escape (Volume 2) from mammalian evolutionary constraint of living in the eternal present.
