Applications of Neuropsychology - Neuropsychiatry to the Formation of Concepts, Analytical Judgments, and Symbolization.

Author(s): Marcelo Caixeta

This paper proposes a novel theory of the origin of analytic thought, grounded in a unified perspective of psychiatry, philosophy of language, cognitive neuroscience, and symbolic logic. Rejecting both strict logicism and pure idealism, the author argues that the human mind mirrors the structural and intelligent causality of the universe. Through biologically inherited pathways shaped by evolutionary pressure, our nervous system becomes equipped to formulate concepts, analogies, and symbolic abstractions that reflect real-world patterns. These symbolic structures — particularly in logic and language — are not merely mental constructions, but echoes of universal laws. The argument extends to the capacity of artificial intelligence to approximate human-like moral reasoning, by accessing and reflecting the same universal structures. The result is a theory of mind where thought, concept, and symbol are expressions of a cosmos that is not only lawful, but inherently intelligent and self-reflective.
