Название: The Evolution of Reason

Автор: Cooper W.

Аннотация:

Dares to challenge conventional logicocentric theories of reason.

There is good information to be gathered here. Very useful information.

The author takes aim at the entrenched conventional wisdom which comforts many philosophically-inclined individuals that there is such a thing as a universal logic. That logic somehow gets impressed on physical and biological processes from the outside. This presupposition can be traced back to Plato and Pythagoras.

Cooper likens the presupposition that logic comes first to the Ptolemaic view that the Earth comes first. I have seen no egotistical comparison between the author and Copernicus.

The basis of this work is that biological processes occur prior to the invention of formal logical systems. THAT doesn't strike me as outrageous. In fact, I don't see any other way for events to have been sequenced.

There are other authors whose work supports this presupposition. They can be found amongst the books I have previously reviewed.
