Abstract
Emerging knowledge of cognitive sociology is an interdisciplinary field of cognitive science. Most research in this field of cognition is related to its relationship with cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Hence, the position of cognitive sociology is defined under the basic approaches of cognitive sciences. The present article seeks to return to the theoretical and philosophical foundations of sociology to highlight the role of society and culture. Martin Heidegger's attention to transcending the realm of the human mind and his existential conflict with the universe provided the basis for the development of human role-in-world Dasein to transcend human subjectivity and to consider the role of man in relation to other human beings in the world. Although Heidegger's time did not provide an opportunity to engage directly with the cognitive sciences, his student Herbert Dreyfuss nurtured Heidegger's idea of the role of human skillful adaptation to the world. The purpose of this article is to develop cognitive sociology not in relation to cognitive psychology and neuroscience and artificial intelligence but to rely on human social identity in conflict with other beings within society and culture to emphasize the richness of sociology versus cognitive sciences in cognitive sociology.
