Description
What is our symbolic intuition of reality, and how is it possible? In Toward a New Conception of Mathematics, Davide Lo Vetere leads us on an extraordinary journey to explore the nature of our mathematical intuition of reality, and redefines the foundations of human thought through a theory that is to Mathematics what science is to technology. In a series of mind-boggling thought experiments, Lo Vetere shows with dazzling clarity the invisible structure of abstract thought, by decoding the organizing principles that operate when we imagine, create and explain concepts, and invites us to rewire ourselves with radical and deeply unintuitive ideas about the meaning of the terms knowledge, comprehension, objectivity, meaning, explanation, information, communication, computation and consciousness. The new mathematical and philosophical framework that emerges from Lo Vetere’s synthesis, called Interaction Theory, is a unifying style of reasoning that rewrites our understanding of reality with profound and far-reaching consequences. Part-intellectual adventure, part textbook, Toward a New Conception of Mathematics is an agenda-setting book for thinkers, and a must-have for anyone who wants to understand the deep structure of mathematics and the fabric of human thought.
