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. 517 $aSpatial Thinking and External Representation 606 $aSpace and time$xHistory 615 0$aSpace and time$xHistory. 702 $aSchemmel$b Matthias 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166643003321 996 $aSpatial thinking and external representation$93400076 997 $aUNINA
