Causalità senza necessità. Neuroscienze, azione, senso comune

Abstract Are we able to find regularities in human facts? And, if it is so, how cognitive neuroscience can offer an innovative contribution? Focusing on the causalitynecessity model, both the psychological and cognitive perspectives, especially advanced in the second half of the last Century, have shown how causality can be understood out from necessity. This opens not only to a more complex comprehension of causality model itself, in a philosophical and logical dimension, but allows us even to point out the contribute that it can offer in understanding social facts. This paper, moving from the falsification that cognitive neuroscience offers for the psychological intentional states, aims to discuss both the perspectives and limits that this can represent for social sciences.
