The so-called “voluntary” action is decided and executed by an unconscious activity of the mind (ACTION); the gained experience is then elaborated and memorised by the conscious mind (COGNITION). The thought of being an independent Self with free will (FW) is considered by many softand hard-sciences an illusionary thought of the mind, though it is a primary individual belief for carrying out COGNITION. This work will investigate this apparent paradox; in particular, it will be put forward for consideration the hypothesis that Self and FW are illusions appearing at the early stages of human life as the outcome of a “primary”stable COGNITION. This believes will be reinforced by further experience gained during the whole life. A second aspect of this work regards the possibility that the mechanism exhibited by TBM (in both phases, partially or entirely taken) might be explained by Quantum mechanics. So, micro and macroscopic events of ACTION and COGNITION will be dissected in order to distinguish the processes that are elaborated by means of plain, biophysical mechanism, i.e.that obey to forcesof a Newtonian field, from those that potentially obey to Quantum mechanics. Interestingly, when it will be argued about the probabilistic-deterministic law of Cause-Effect, a pillar of TBM’s COGNITION, the question of incompatibility with Quantum-mechanics seemed to rise, as if that the Newtonian mind might ultimately get the better of Quantum-mind.","PeriodicalId":92285,"journal":{"name":"Psychology and cognitive sciences : open journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47276784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
