Abstract

This research proposes Cognitive Relativity as an innovative epistemological framework, metaphorically extending Einstein’s theories of relativity to human cognition. It asserts that cognition is inherently frame-dependent, shaped by cognitive biases and contextual influences. The study reinterprets Kant’s Pure Reason, integrating insights from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, proposing a practical metacognitive methodology to systematically mitigate cognitive distortions. Emphasizing frame-shifting and metacognitive reflection, this model aims at progressively approximating objectivity by integrating multiple cognitive frames.
