Schulkin argues that there is a fundamental link between cognitive/neural systems and evolution that underlies human activity. He further argues for a regulative norm of self-corrective inquiry, an appreciation of the hypothetical nature of all knowledge. Schulkin's perspective is rooted in contemporary behavioral and cognitive neuroscience.
