About this book
Reviews
–Barbara Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk, State University of Applied Sciences in Konin, Poland
“For many readers, this monograph may become the beginning of a fascinating journey to the mathematical origins of modern science. The Geometry of Choice can also be seen as another chapter in the history of the "linguistics wars": a bold, albeit controversial attempt to embed the cognitive and social sciences in Neoplatonic philosophy.”
–Agnieszka Libura, University of Wrocław, Poland
“The book is a welcome attempt that offers hope that cognitive-linguistic tools may be profitably employed to shed light on the human condition. I recommend this book in the belief that it will contribute to the debate concerning the potential of cognitive-linguistic methodology in the humanities and social sciences".–Andrzej Pawelec, Jagiellonian University, Poland
“How do human beings choose? Science scarcely knows. How do human beings conceive of choice? That is a question this work takes up, provocatively, and with many challenges for those who ask this question”.
–Mark Turner, Case Western Reserve University, USA“A formidably erudite, interdisciplinary tour de force about the nature of the decision-making processes and a compelling demonstration of the flexibility of cognitive linguistics, which has already made a lasting mark on education, sociology, computer science, mathematics, philosophy and theology, to name but a few. This book is an eye-opening must-read”.
–Jacek Woźny, University of Wrocław, Wroclaw, Poland
