The Origins of Thought and Language
The title of Mark Turner's bold new book describes not a bookish mind but the        ordinary human mind, in which literary mental powers are the basis of everyday        thought. In The Literary Mind, Turner argues that we have been looking in the wrong        places for answers to basic questions about meaning, mind, and language.Here, Turner        ranges from the tools of modern linguistics and classical rhetoric, to the recent        work of neuroscientists such as Antonio Damasio and Gerald Edelman, to literary        masterpieces by Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and Proust, as he explains how story and        projection--and their powerful combination in parable--are fundamental to everyday        thought. Language itself, he concludes, is the child of the literary mind. Offering        major revisions to our understanding of thought, conceptual activity, and the origin        and nature of language, The Literary Mind presents a unified theory of central        problems in cognitive science, linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, and        philosophy. Adventurous and convincing, Turner's work launches a new understanding        of what it is to have a human brain.
