Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of abstraction and generalization from their origins in perception and representation all the way through to their most refined expressions in scientific and mathematical thought. It illuminates the nuanced difference between inferior abstractionâ"which can occur in children, deaf-mutes, and animalsâ"and the forms of abstract thought exclusive to humans that rely on language. The author examines the emergence of abstract concepts such as number, space, time, cause, and law throughout history, revealing the complex interplay between the conscious and unconscious mind. This book offers a unique and valuable contribution to the understanding of the foundations of human cognition and its development.
