Words and images [electronic resource] : an essay on the origin of ideas / Christopher Gauker. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2011. 1 online resource (xii, 302 p.) : ill. For centuries philosophers have attempted to derive concepts from perceptual representations but have failed to explain how the mind generates the building blocks of thought. Gauker addresses this problem in a new account of imagistic cognition. He shows that much of cognition occurs by means of mental imagery, without the help of concepts.
