Beschrijving
This book, the second in a series of three on cognitive science, explains how natural language is not just a means of communication but is essential to what is often referred to as human thought or reason. An analog model of human cognition is developed and used to explain how humans have created mathematics, science, literature, history and psychology with a two-part mind. The first part, which we inherited from our primate cousins, does not use words while the second part uses language to tell stories of our past, to coordinate activities in the present and plan future events.
