Mapping Thinking

Authors

  • Pieter Mostert

Abstract

Introduction:  In order to understand our thinking, we use all kinds of metaphors.  Without them we would be blind to the process of thinking.  One of the metaphors is the idea of a "map": the mind is conceived of as something spacial in which our thoughts are located and where connections of all different kinds are established.  The process of thinking is conceived of as the travelling along these connections from one thought to another.
