Cognition and Temporality: The Genesis of Historical Thought in
Perception and Reasoning argues that both verbal grammar and
figural grammar have their cognitive basis in twelve characteristic
forms of judgment, distributed among individuals in human
populations throughout history. These twelve logical forms are
context-free and language-free foundations in our attentional
awareness and shape all verbal and figural statements. Moreover,
these types of historical judgment are psychogenetic inheritances
in a population, and each serves a distinct problem-solving
function in the human species. Through analysis of verbal and
figural statements, Mark E. Blum contends, the researcher can find
evidence of these forms of judgment and in turn analyze how the
event to which those statements attend is formally constructed by
that judgment. This construction guides how the event is assessed,
approached, and engaged in the process of problem-solving. Artists
and aestheticians in the early twentieth century-including Wassily
Kandinsky, Stephen C. Pepper, and Andrew Paul Ushenko-have all
posited an inherited attentional perspective in individuals,
manifested in the logical correspondence between their distinctive
verbal and figural grammars. Cognition and Temporality elaborates
these claims, arguing that while the styles of well-known writers
and artists are conditioned by the public styles of a particular
time period, variations in personal style manifest one's inherited
form of judgment and the characteristic grammars that express that
form. Through rigorous visual and stylistic analysis, this book
demonstrates the expression of these forms among notable painters,
historians, and writers across history. The result is a
wide-ranging and provocative contribution to phenomenology,
aesthetic philosophy, and cultural history.
