Beskrivning
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.

  1. 5/5 Simon B

    Lite svårt att följa med ibland då boken är på engelska men jag rekommenderar till den som har en god förståelse för engelska och har ett filosofiskt intresse för matematiken och människan.


    Min evidentialistiska världsbild kan till stor del härledas till denna bok.
