About

My research interest is the diversity of human cognition including for example voodoo, Hinduism, Christianity, western science and Zen-Buddhism. In contrast to humanities and cultural anthropology a deductive model based on Maslow, Piaget and Vygotsky is being developed as methodologically common in science and economics.

The model describes four fields of cognitive potentiality on the individual and on the cultural level. The model is based on scientific reasoning, but due to the fact that science is also an object of consideration in this model it is true that this model can only be relatively true if it is true.

The researcher can use the fifth position of the epistemological observer to decide which of the four fields (modes of thought) will have the best outcome in a real life situation without being focused on one field only. Phenomena, which do not fit into the model, are collected in a “book of anomalies” for future advancement or other solutions.
