Formal languages are widely regarded as being above all
mathematical objects and as producing a greater level of precision
and technical complexity in logical investigations because of this.
Yet defining formal languages exclusively in this way offers only a
partial and limited explanation of the impact which their use (and
the uses of formalisms more generally elsewhere) actually has. In
this book, Catarina Dutilh Novaes adopts a much wider conception of
formal languages so as to investigate more broadly what exactly is
going on when theorists put these tools to use. She looks at the
history and philosophy of formal languages and focuses on the
cognitive impact of formal languages on human reasoning, drawing on
their historical development, psychology, cognitive science and
philosophy. Her wide-ranging study will be valuable for both
students and researchers in philosophy, logic, psychology and
cognitive and computer science.
