- Seller's Description:
- As New in As New jacket. 7 3/4" x 9 1/2" 578 Pages Indexed. Brand new condition for book and dust jacket. Black paper covered boards with silver lettering on spine. Dust jacket flap is an unclipped $35. No marks, stamps or labels. Not a remainder. Analogy Is The Core of All Thinking. This is the simple but unorthodox premise that the authors defend in this book. Hofstadter has been grappling with the mysteries of human thought for over thirty years. Now, with his trademark wit and special talent for making complex ideas vivid, he has partnered with Sander to put forth a highly novel perspective on cognition. We are constantly faced with a swirling and intermingling multitude of ill-defined situations. Our brain's job is to try to make sense of this unpredictable stimuli. The ceaseless hail of input triggers analogies galore, helping us to pinpoint the essence of what is going on. Often this means the spontaneous evocation of words, sometimes idioms, sometimes the triggering of nameless, long-buried memories. Why did two-year-old Camille proudly exclaim, I undressed the banana? How do we recognize an aggressive driver from a split-second glance in our rearview mirror? What in a friend's remark triggers the offhand reply, That's just sour grapes? What did Albert Einstein see that made him suspect that light consists of particles when a century of research had driven the final nail in the coffin of that long-dead idea? Analogy-making, far from happening at rare intervals, occurs at all moments, defining thinking from top to toe, from the tiniest and most fleeting thoughts to the most creative scientific insights. This book will profoundly enrich our understanding of our own minds by plunging the reader into an extraordinary variety of colorful situations involving language, thought, and memory, by revealing bit by bit the constantly churning cognitive mechanisms normally completely hidden from view, and by discovering in them one central, invariant core the incessant, unconscious quest for strong analogical links to past experiences this book puts forth a radical and deeply surprising new vision of the act of thinking. Contents in Eight Chapters: Analogy as the Core of Cognition, The Evocation of Words, The Evocation of Phrases, a Vast Ocean of Invisible Analogies, Abstraction and Inter-category Sliding, How Analogies Manipulate Us, How We Manipulate Analogies, Naïve Analogies, Analogies the Shook the World, and Katy and Anna Debate the Core of Cognition. A large heavy book that may incur additional shipping charges to some locations.
