    A methodological behaviourist model for imitation.Paul J. M. Jorion - 1998 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (5):695-695.
    Byrne & Russon's target article displays all the difficulties encountered when one fails to take a methodological behaviourist approach to imitation. Their conceptual apparatus is grounded in a mixture of introspection and folk psychology. Their distinction between action-level and program-level imitation falters on goal imputation for sequential acts. In an alternative gradient descent model, behaviour can be simulated as a frustration/satisfaction gradient descent in the animal's “potentiality space,” as defined by knowledge, inventiveness, and the surrounding environment.

    A quoi bon penser à l'heure du grand collapse?Paul Jorion - 2017 - [Paris]: Fayard. Edited by Franck Cormerais & Jacques Athanase Gilbert.
    Responsable des crises économiques et environnementales catastrophiques qui l'affligent et menacent aujourd'hui de l'emporter, le genre humain est paradoxalement aussi un génie technologique dont les fruits de l'inventivité sont entrés dans une phase explosive faisant miroiter à la fois la promesse de l'immortalité individuelle et la déresponsabilisation par le transfert de la gestion des affaires à des machines. À quoi bon penser à l'heure où se profile à l'horizon la menace du remplacement de l'homme apprenti-sorcier par le robot, son héritier? (...)

    Défense et illustration du genre humain.Paul Jorion - 2018 - [Paris]: Fayard.
    Qui étions-nous? Pour répondre à cette question, Paul Jorion dresse l'inventaire de ce que nous, êtres humains, avons pu comprendre jusqu'ici de notre destin. Il convoque pour ce faire les phares de notre réflexion sur nous-mêmes, certains aux noms attendus : Confucius, Socrate, Aristote, Paul de Tarse, Hegel, Nietzsche et Freud, ou moins attendus, tels Machiavel, Shakespeare et Victor Hugo, voire inattendus, comme Mao Tse-toung et Jacob Taubes. Cette évaluation est réalisée en vue d'assurer notre salut, lequel est sérieusement compromis (...)

    Keeping up with the joneses: The desire of the desire for money.Paul Jorion - 2006 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (2):187-188.
    The biological basis of money lies in a three-term relationship between one subject and some others, with money acting as a mediator. The drive to acquire money is a special case of a desire for recognition. What is aimed at by subjects is their desire for the desire of some others: the former derive satisfaction from representing to themselves the admiration, or envy, of these others. This raises reproductive advantage. (Published Online April 5 2006).

    Le dernier qui s'en va éteint la lumière: essai sur l'extinction de l'humanité.Paul Jorion - 2016 - Paris: Fayard.
    Le genre humain se découvre, à sa très grande surprise, au bord de l’extinction. A cette menace, il ne réagit que mollement, en tentant de manière dérisoire de dégager un bénéfice commercial de toute tentative de réponse. Sommes-nous outillés pour empêcher notre propre extinction? Notre constitution psychique et notre histoire jusqu’ici suggèrent malheureusement que notre espèce n’est pas à la hauteur de la tâche : la découverte que chacun d’entre nous est mortel l’a plongée dans une stupeur profonde dont plusieurs (...)

    Syntax, or, the embryogenesis of meaning.Paul J. M. Jorion - 1999 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (6):1027-1028.
    Syntax is better viewed as the dynamics of a morphogenetic field on a semantic universe of “content” words. This may take widely different forms, making the acquisition of any language by an aspiring speaker an entirely new experience. The existence of an underlying “universal syntax” might be illusory.

    Thought as word dynamics.Paul J. M. Jorion - 1999 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (2):295-295.
    A Hebbian model for speech generation opens a number of paths. A cross-linguistic scheme of functional relationships (inspired by Aristotle) dispenses with distraction by the “parts of speech” distinctions, while bridging the gap between “content” and “structure” words. A gradient model identifies emotional and rational dynamics and shows speech generation as a process where a speaker's dissatisfaction gets minimized.

    The elementary units of meaning.Paul J. M. Jorion - 2000 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (4):483-484.
    Examining the implications of a localist model for linguistic performance, I show the strengths of the P-graph, a network of elementary units of meaning where utterance results from relaxation through the operation of a dynamics of affect values. A unit of meaning is stored in a synaptic connection that brings together two words. Such a model, consistent with the anatomy and physiology of the neural tissue, eschews a number of traditional pitfalls of “semantic networks”: (1) ambiguity ceases to be an (...)

    The uncanny power of words.Paul J. M. Jorion - 1999 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (4):622-623.
    In their quality as acoustic or visual percepts, words are linked to the emotional values of the state-of-affairs they evoke. This allows them to engender meanings capable of operating nearly entirely detached from percepts. Such a laying flat of meanings permits deliberation to take place within the window of consciousness. In such a theatre of the imagination, linguistically triggered, resides the originality of the human psyche.
