Socionics as a Theory of Everything
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_...8philosophy%29
Does not socionics meet Rescher's criterion as a model of human cognition? Can we ever witness any well-formed thought process that cannot be explained as motion in Model-A? And does not socionics explain the emergence of consciousness as a product of the information element preceeding :Fe: for a person's type?
Is not consciousness :Fe:?

I think Socionics might, MIGHT work in the real world. However, what are the chances of ALL of the aspects of human cognition neatly fitting into 8 categories? I think it's a good start, but still a little too oversimplified to become a real science yet. Especially with individual conclusions (typings) being so disputable at present.
