Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough examination of the process of abstraction. The author delves into the history of the subject, tracing its development from the times of Greek philosophy to the experimental investigations of the 20th century. The book explores the relationship between thought and imagery, examining the different theories that have been proposed. The author presents evidence from experimental studies to support the view that thought is not dependent on imagery, but is instead a distinct mental process. The book also discusses the nature of concepts, exploring the different ways in which they can be represented in the mind. The author argues that concepts are not simply mental images, but are instead abstract mental representations that can be used to think about the world. This book is a significant contribution to the study of abstraction and provides valuable insights into the nature of thought and concepts. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of mind, cognitive psychology, or the history of psychology.
