It looks at current work on mathematical cognition (from Lakoff and Núñez to Butterworth, Dehaene, and beyond), matching it against the poetic logic paradigm. In a sense, it continues from where Kasner and Newman left off, connecting contemporary research on the mathematical mind to the idea that the products of early mathematics were virtually identical to the first forms of poetic language. As such, this book informs the current research on mathematical cognition from a different angle, by looking back at a still relatively unknown philosopher within mathematics. The aim of this volume is to look broadly at what constitutes the mathematical mind through the Vichian lens ofpoetic logic. Vico was among the first to suggest that the essential nature of mind could be unraveled indirectly by reconstructing the sources of its “modifications” (his term for “creations”); that is, by examining the creation and function of symbols, words, and all the other uniquely human artifacts—including mathematics—the mind has allowed humans to establish “the world of civil society,” Vico’s term for culture and civilization. The book is of interest to cognitive scientists working on math cognition. It presents the theory of poetic logic as Vico articulated it in his book The New Science, examining its main premises and then applying it to an interpretation of the ongoing work in math cognition. It will also be of interest to the general public, since it presents a history of early mathematics through the lens of an idea that has borne fruit in understanding the origin of language and symbols more broadly.Mathematics in Mind,2522-5413MathematicsHistoryCognitive scienceLinguisticsHistory of Mathematical SciencesCognitive ScienceTheoretical Linguistics / GrammarMathematics.History.Cognitive science.Linguistics.History of Mathematical Sciences.Cognitive Science.Theoretical Linguistics / Grammar.195195Danesi Marcel166452MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910736997303321Poetic Logic and the Origins of the Mathematical Imagination3427816UNINA
