Title: Where Mathematics Comes from. How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being
Description: Basic Books, 2000. Paperback. Pp: 492. This book is about mathematical ideas, about what mathematics means-and why. Abstract ideas, for the most part, arise via conceptual metaphor-metaphorical ideas projecting from the way we function in the everyday physical world. Where Mathematics Comes From argues that conceptual metaphor plays a central role in mathematical ideas within the cognitive unconscious-from arithmetic and algebra to sets and logic to infinity in all of its forms. ISBN: 9780465037711. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
