Lines of Thought
We think with objects--we conduct our lives surrounded by external devices that help us recall information, calculate, plan, design, make decisions, articulate ideas, and organize the chaos that fills our heads. Lines of Thought is the first book to investigate this prevalent but poorly studied notational habit, analyzing the practice from linguistic and cognitive perspectives and studying its application across theology, philosophy, law, and medicine.These diagrams not only allow a glimpse into the thinking practices of the past but also constitute a chapter in the history of how people learned to rely on external devices--from stone to parchment to slide rules to smartphones--for recording, storing, and processing information. Medieval scholars learned to think with their pages in a peculiar way: drawing hundreds of tree diagrams.
