Theorizing, whether it is done in science or philosophy, must, in order to remain an activity achievable with human cognitive resources and powers, keeps at an implicit level most of its premises as well as most of its consequences. Theorizing aims at providing solutions to prob­lems or questions regarding specific objects, and the premises and con­sequences deserving explicit attention are those considered closest or of more critical importance to those problems. It is when our attention is drawn to new problems or new aspects of an object that what is deemed of importance can partially shift and possibly require explicit attention.

The case of theorizing about human higher cognitive activities is no exception. This volume aims at drawing attention to one premise that has been challenged in the recent decades in several cognitive disciplines, namely the idea that when humans develop some understanding, theory, etc. of a phenomenon of the physical world (we will use the term “repre­sentation” in an inclusive manner to designate these), they have a natural tendency to develop or preserve only one of it. In other words, when thinking about human cognition, representational unicity is probably a presupposition that most people are ready to use.
