Transcognition

Transcognition is the ability to employ one's cognitive faculties to undermine values by attacking their presuppositions and using one's non-cognitive attitude to create new values. These new values are attempts by which we try to render our world estimable. This transcognitive approach was first formulated by philosopher John T. Wilcox in his study 'Truth and Value in Nietzsche' (1974). Transcognition is not to be confused with technocognition, an interdisciplinary approach to counter misinformation in a post-truth world.
