The Scope of Human Thought
Mark B. Turner
Case Western Reserve University - Department of Cognitive Science
August 17, 2009
Abstract:
Biologically, we resemble other animals, but mentally, we leave them in the dust. The scope of human thought is vast. Why are we so different? This think-piece explores the scope of human thought, its possible origins, and the mental operations that make it possible.
