Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. If mathematics is the purest form of knowledge, the perfect foundation of all the hard sciences, and a uniquely precise discipline, then how can the human brain, an imperfect and imprecise organ, process mathematical ideas? Is mathematics made up of eternal, universal truths? Or, as some have claimed, could mathematics simply be a human invention, a kind of tool or metaphor?These questions are among the greatest enigmas of science and epistemology, discussed at length by mathematicians, physicians, and philosophers. But, curiously enough, neuroscientists have been absent in the debate, even though it is precisely the field of neurosciencewhich studies the brains mechanisms for thinking and reasoningthat ought to be at the very center of these discussions. How our Emotions and Bodies are Vital for Abstract Thought explores the unique mechanisms of cooperation between the body, emotions, and the cortex, based on fundamental physical principles. It is these mechanisms that help us to overcome the limitations of our physiology and allow our imperfect, human brains to make transcendent mathematical discoveries.This book is written for anyone who is interested in the nature of abstract thought, including mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. The book describes the mechanisms that make formal logic possible, before discussing errors that occur in our cortical constructs, and the implications this has for abstract thought. The book then goes on to explore the roles of emotion and embodiment, and the unique relationship they have in minimising the shortcomings of our physiology to provide us with an understanding of mathematics. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
