Description

Explore the deep connection between language, thought, and mathematics in this scholarly work from Springer. This book examines eighteenth-century Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico's theory of poetic logic. It presents the idea that poetic logic serves as the starting force in mathematics, turning basic counting and spatial perception into metaphorical symbolism. This process connects the development of mathematical thought directly to the origins of human language. The text bridges historical philosophy with modern science by comparing the poetic logic paradigm to current research in mathematical cognition. It references significant contemporary work from scholars like Lakoff, Nunez, Butterworth, and Dehaene. By building on the foundations laid by Kasner and Newman, this book offers a unique perspective on how the mathematical mind functions. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of mathematics and the cognitive processes that shape our understanding of numbers and symbols.
