Sommario/riassunto

Two characteristics of human beings as a species are the elaboration of our thought through language and symbolism and the pluralistic nature of our systems of social organization. Human Thought and Social Organization shows empirically and precisely, how these two characteristics are related by determining the conceptual structures that are fundamental to human thought and social organization. This



book works out the logical-mathematical properties that give these structures their power and importance.</spa
