How we form general ideas—and how those ideas grow from concrete senses to abstract thought.
This volume traces the rising evolution of our mental powers, from basic perception to the deepest general notions. It explains how three main periods structure our thinking: before speech, with words, and with words that replace direct experience. The study draws on observations of animals, children, and deaf-mutes, and it shows how language, signs, and mental images shape what we know.
In clear, compact chapters, the author maps the path from simple impressions to complex theories. You’ll see how abstraction begins without language, then moves through language‑aided stages, and finally reaches a stage where words alone can stand for ideas. The book also outlines how these ideas are tested, organized, and refined across philosophy, science, and daily life.- Learn about three forms of abstraction and how people picture general ideas: concrete images, visual/typographic representations, and auditory associations.
- Explore how key concepts like number, space, time, cause, and species develop from practical memory and experience.
- See how language and signs influence thought, and why some thinkers think in pictures while others think in words.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
