title: Cognitive Semantics: An Extension of the Cartesian Legacy creator: Karmakar, Samir subject: Semantics description: The basic intention of this article is to show how the cognitive semantics inherits its ancestry from the Cartesian foundation. The emergence of the cognitive semantics is envisaged here as an integral part of the knowledge evolution, in terms of shifts, which ultimately determines the future direction of our epistemological quest. Basically two questions have been emphasized here: (a) how (and what amount of) common sense metaphysics can be incorporated within the existing system of knowledge; and (b) is there any substratum where the mind-body dualism can be boiled down? publisher: The Slovak Association for the Study of English contributor: Ć tekauer, Pavol date: 2006 type: Journal (On-line/Unpaginated) type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/5450/1/skase.pdf identifier: Karmakar, Samir (2006) Cognitive Semantics: An Extension of the Cartesian Legacy.
