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.
