This book is about mathematical ideas, about what mathematics means-and why. Abstract ideas, for the most part, arise via conceptual metaphor-metaphorical ideas projecting from the way we function in the everyday physical world. Where Mathematics Comes From argues that conceptual metaphor plays a central role in mathematical ideas within the cognitive unconscious-from arithmetic and algebra to sets and logic to infinity in all of its forms.

For a long time now people have assumed that body and mind are two separate things. That view is now being challenged with a range of "holistic" remedies and approaches in all aspects of life. The original thinking can be compared to a computer - the computer is the brain and our mind just the program that runs on it. Thus thinking, cognition, is something for computers, rather than humans. The results from this has seen the introduction of AI - artificial intelligence - and other cognitive science theories. The contributors to this book do not take that stance, they treat the thinking person as an ambodied whole. This book is a critique of traditional cognitive science and a presentation of alternative approaches owing more to evolutionary biology and dynamical systems. Contributors include: Andy Clark, Valerie Gray Hardcastle, Robert Shaw, and Esther Thelen.
