Abstract

Panelists N.M. Smirnova, V.A. Bazhanov, N.A. Yastreb, and P.N. Baryshnikov discuss the main ideas of I.F. Mikhailov's article “Computational Approach in Social Cognition” and the ideas expressed by each of them in the commentary texts regarding the prospects of the computational approach in the social sciences. The discussion ends with the response of I.F. Mikhailov. In it he gives an assessment of the objections made and clarifies those points of his text that, in his opinion, were ignored or remained misunderstood by the debaters.
