Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating psychological processes behind abstract thinking and concept formation. The author traces the historical development of ideas about abstraction, beginning with ancient philosophers like Aristotle and culminating in a vibrant discussion of competing theories from the 19th and early 20th centuries. From the schoolmen's debate on the nature of universals to the rise of experimental psychology, the book explores how thinkers have grappled with the question of how abstract concepts are formed in the mind. The author examines various theories, ranging from the role of sensory imagery and attention to more recent perspectives that emphasize the significance of motor responses and action in shaping our understanding of the world. Ultimately, this book offers a rich and engaging examination of the complex psychological processes underlying abstract thinking and concept formation, providing a deeper understanding of how we make sense of our world.
