Adventures of Mind and Mathematics

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the concept of "event," this monograph redefines mathematical cognition by emphasizing the interplay between bodily experiences and symbolic thought. It is structured in three parts: the first critiques classical views and establishes an event-centric perspective; the second explores phenomena like mathematical thought and affect through this new lens; and the final part examines broader themes, including the embodied experience of mathematics and the connection between experience and cognition. It appeals to those interested in educational theory, social development, and psychology.
