Way We Think
In its first two decades, much of cognitive science focused on such mental functions as memory, learning, symbolic thought, and language acquisition --the functions in which the human mind most closely resembles a computer. The Way We Think is a landmark synthesis that exemplifies this new direction. But humans are more than computers, and the cutting-edge research in cognitive science is increasingly focused on the more mysterious, creative aspects of the mind.
Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner argue that all learning and all thinking consist of blends of metaphors based on simple bodily experiences. The theory of conceptual blending is already widely known in laboratories throughout the world; this book is its definitive statement. These blends are then themselves blended together into an increasingly rich structure that makes up our mental functioning in modern society.
A child's entire development consists of learning and navigating these blends. The Way We Think shows how this blending operates; how it is affected by (and gives rise to) language, identity, and concept of category; and the rules by which we use blends to understand ideas that are new to us.The result is a bold, exciting, and accessible new view of how the mind works.
