认知科学继续提出一个令人信服的理由，要求有一个连贯的、独特的和基本的研究主题：心灵的本质是什么，它们从哪里来，它们是如何工作的？这个研究的核心是有目标的代理人的概念，其中之一是他们自己的持久性，他们使用动态构建的知识在世界上采取行动以实现这些目标。代理的观点解释了为什么一类特殊的系统具有一组共同发生的能力，使他们能够在复杂的环境中表现出自适应行为：感知，注意力，记忆，表征，规划和沟通。作为一项智力奋进，认知科学可能还没有实现Lakatos（1978）认为是成功研究项目象征的无可争议的核心假设，但还有一些替代概念，根据这些概念，认知科学已经取得了成功。首先，早期的挑战，核心原则的“心灵作为计算”已经帮助把认知科学的基础上一个更强大的基础，其中包括心灵和他们的环境之间的关系。其次，即使一个完整的跨学科的理论共识是难以捉摸的，认知科学可以激发遥远的，深刻的，和变革的领域之间的联系对。要想在智力上至关重要，认知科学不必像传统学科那样具有相关的狭隘性和不受挑战的假设。相反，认知科学集合在一起的不同观点和方法中有力量和弹性。这种跨学科的事业是脆弱的，也许天生就不稳定，正如认知科学即将被心理学吸收所显示的那样。尽管如此，对许多研究人员来说，通过整合不同的案例来对心灵的本质进行三角测量的兴奋和好处，无法通过一个具有无可争议的核心假设的稳定学科来保证。
Cognitive science continues to make a compelling case for having a coherent, unique, and fundamental subject of inquiry: What is the nature of minds, where do they come from, and how do they work? Central to this inquiry is the notion of agents that have goals, one of which is their own persistence, who use dynamically constructed knowledge to act in the world to achieve those goals. An agentive perspective explains why a special class of systems have a cluster of co-occurring capacities that enable them to exhibit adaptive behavior in a complex environment: perception, attention, memory, representation, planning, and communication. As an intellectual endeavor, cognitive science may not have achieved a hard core of uncontested assumptions that Lakatos (1978) identifies as emblematic of a successful research program, but there are alternative conceptions according to which cognitive science has been successful. First, challenges of the early, core tenet of "Mind as Computation" have helped put cognitive science on a stronger foundation-one that incorporates relations between minds and their environments. Second, even if a full cross-disciplinary theoretic consensus is elusive, cognitive science can inspire distant, deep, and transformative connections between pairs of fields. To be intellectually vital, cognitive science need not resemble a traditional discipline with its associated insularity and unchallenged assumptions. Instead, there is strength and resilience in the diverse perspectives and methods that cognitive science assembles together. This interdisciplinary enterprise is fragile and perhaps inherently unstable, as the looming absorption of cognitive science into psychology shows. Still, for many researchers, the excitement and benefits of triangulating on the nature of minds by integrating diverse cases cannot be secured by a stable discipline with an uncontested core of assumptions.
