PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Piotr Kozak is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Bialystok, Poland.
Piotr Kozak's book is the first systematic exploration of the far-reaching consequences of imagistic cognition: our ability to use mental imagery in our thinking and problem-solving. I expect - and certainly hope - that it will be the go-to book on imagistic cognition in the years to come. * Bence Nanay, Professor of Philosophical Psychology, University of Antwerp, Belgium * Thinking in Images demonstrates the cognitive role of images, or iconic representations, in rational thinking. Kozak responds to skeptics by showing that images are indispensable for thinking as measuring devices, even if they are not propositional. Drawing on measurement theory, he provides a novel account of image contents. * Marcin Milkowski, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland * How many windows are in your home? One way to answer is to imagine your home and count the windows. Such imagistic thinking abounds in art and science, but how does it work? Thinking in Images answers by arguing images are measuring devices - less like sentences and more like rulers. * Ben Blumson, Associate Professor, National University of Singapore, Singapore *
