WHERE MATHEMATICS COMES FROM: HOW THE EMBODIED MIND BRINGS MATHEMATICS INTO BEING By George Lakoff & Rafael E. Nunez – Hardcover **Mint Condition**.
Where Mathematics Come From : How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics
George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez explore the cognitive origins of mathematics in their book “Where Mathematics Come from: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics Into Being.” Published by Basic Books in 2000, this textbook delves into the history and philosophy of mathematics, focusing on the connections between mathematical concepts and the human mind. With insights from number theory, the book presents a compelling argument that mathematics is not just a set of abstract rules, but a product of our embodied cognitive processes. This thought-provoking work is a valuable resource for those interested in the development of mathematical understanding.
