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.^[1]^[2] These new values are attempts by which we try to render our world estimable.^[3] This transcognitive approach was first formulated by philosopher John T. Wilcox in his study 'Truth and Value in Nietzsche' (1974).^[1] Transcognition is not to be confused with technocognition, an interdisciplinary approach to counter misinformation in a post-truth world.^[4]
