have a great pleasure to welcome you to our Queen Jadwiga Research
Institute of Understanding. Understanding is a new area of research that
includes problems connected with learning, cognition, problem solving,
thinking or understanding and which will be developing very rapidly. Not
only so called scientific topics but also many philosophical problems can
be approached by seeing them as one of the aspects of understanding. Understanding
is one of the human capabilities that play a key role in all human
activities. The Queen Jadwiga Research Institute of Understanding is aimed
at creating a suitable environment for carrying of research concerning all
aspects of understanding. Understanding of the rapidly growing vast area of
the scientific knowledge requires very new approach to verify the new
scientific facts in the context of knowledge of other scientific disciplines.
Also the new learning/teaching methods that will be developed and applied
within the framework of the existing educational systems should be based on
results of new research of understanding of scientific facts and theories
from the different scientific fields. One of the aims of the research in
the Queen Jadwiga Research Institute of Understanding is to design and
build the thinking machine that will be able to imitate the way in which we
think and solve problems. The thinking machine is the most sophisticated
generation of the humanoid robots and will find application in many areas
of industrial activities. The thinking machine will create a very big
challenge for philosophers that should formulate more precisely some old
philosophical problems and should see them in the context of limits of our
human understanding. In the light of the research in understanding and
building of the thinking machine there is no place in science for reduction
the human being to be a mere machine that comes to being as the result of
the primitive materialistic evolution. Never in the history of the
scientific research were researchers involved in solving such a complex
problem – the problem of the mystery of the human nature. |
