Santiago Theory of Cognition
Biologists, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela contributed their Santiago theory of cognition in which they wrote:
Living systems are cognitive systems, and living as a process is a process of cognition. This statement is valid for all organisms, with or without a nervous system.[1]
This theory contributes a perspective that cognition is a process present at other organic levels.
This theory contributes to the philosophical discussion of awareness, consciousness, cognition and the philosophy of mind.
