International Herbert A. Simon Society
The Herbert Simon Society brings together cognitive scientists, economists, social scientists and
philosophers aiming to renew the fundamental concepts of rationality and social action. Starting from
the seminal work of Herbert Simon in economics, psychology, computer science, organizational
theory, philosophy of science, the HSS wishes to tackle the current debate about the crisis of economic
rationality, the alternative architectures of mind, the mind-brain relations and the simulation of
creativity.
