This paper is an attempt to outline an influential manner of thinking about the human mind and knowing, a scheme Karl Popper called the “bucket theory of mind”. This scheme is an immanent part not only of almost every scientific theory in epistemology, logic, neurobiology, cognitive science, psychology, and computer science, but also of many cultural stereotypes concerning man and the soul. The paper consists of four major parts: (1) the historical origin, which I locate in the Cartesian idea of mind, popularized by John Locke, (2) a systematization of the bucket theory of mind with an enumeration of the major arguments, (3) a criticism, analysis, and conclusion, and (4) an indication of the general philosophical inspirations the theory: the 17th-century fascination with geometry, the attempt to use Newtonian geometrical language in the human sciences, and indirectly, but more fundamentally, nominalism in perceiving man, the soul, and the mind.

In this paper we comment on the opinions of great philosophers from various epochs on the relationship between computers and the human mind. We ponder over whether we might be able to gain an understanding of the human mind and a perception of the world from the scientific point of view. We focus on the relationship between these two issues.

The contemporary anthropology seems to be extremely superficial. Anthropologists do not pay attention to how the studied artifacts arise in the human mind. They tend to watch communities associate with these artifacts, analyze customs, religion, inventions, and other artifacts, but it is not sufficient to achieve the effect of objectivity. Cultural relativism is chosen as a tool to deal with them. It seems that the starting point for a complete rejection of ethnocentrism is the distinction b e tween the cultural sphere praxis and fitness. In turn, in order to achieve the cultural unification one should pay c lose attention to the so-called first principles. The aim of this article is to prove the existence of the first principles as indicators of how do they work in culture. Rules are independent of space and time, and, moreover, they are based in our culture and how we perceive the world around us. We may observe that these rules have existed in human culture from its beginning due to the fact that it was based on them.
