Peirce on Perception and Reasoning (eBook, ePUB)

From Icons to Logic
Redaktion: Hull, Kathleen A.; Atkins, Richard Kenneth

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, scholars examine the nature and significance of Peirce's work on perception, iconicity, and diagrammatic thinking. Abjuring any strict dichotomy between presentational and representational mental activity, Peirce's theories transform the Aristotelian, Humean, and Kantian paradigms that continue to hold sway today and forge a new path for understanding the centrality of visual thinking in science, education, art, and communication. This book is a key resource for scholars interested in Perice's philosophy and its relation to contemporary issues in mathematics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of perception, semiotics, logic, visual thinking, and cognitive science.
