The Clash of Perceptions
This paper challenges Samuel Huntington's clash of civilization paradigm through a philosophical reasoning of cognitive proofs. The authors propose a clash of perceptions to reflect better the complexity of individual and collective interactions. In the first section, the authors discuss the limits of Huntington's paradigm before proposing in the second section a new approach geared toward individual and group phenomena aiming to model the clash of perceptions. New concepts such as percepts, misperception, misconception and perception prototypes are introduced.
