The volume presents and analyses manifestations of spatial thinking in the language and practices of recent non-literate societies, in the administrative institutions of early civilizations, in discursive contexts of ancient Greece and China, in early modern natural philosophy and metaphysics, and in twentieth-century physics, and discusses their historical and structural relations.Spatial Thinking and External RepresentationSpace and timeHistoryMPRLEdition Open AccessSpace and timeHistory.Schemmel MatthiasBOOK9910166643003321Spatial thinking and external representation3400076UNINA
