SQJRIU I
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. Last updated: 20 July 2019 Copyright the Queen Jadwiga Foundation Address: The Queen Jadwiga Foundation P.O. Box 654, Toorak, VIC 3142 Australia |
