Abstract
On using logics in cognitive sciences : methodological issues. This paper intends to discuss some methodological problems relative to the use of logic in cognitive sciences. First we recall a number of characteristics formal logics inherits from its origins in the mathematical universe and which prescribe a cautious attitude when cognitive modelling is concerned. Secondly we insist on taking profit of the various branches of logic and especially of concepts and techniques related to computation and proof theory, including their developments in theoretical computer science. These considerations are supported by a study of the semantics of modalities in natural language. Finally we investigate the conditions of an overtaking of the present logical paradigm in profit of mathematical theories still to be elaborated.
