Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being by cognitive linguist George Lakoff and psychologist Rafael E. Núñez offers a groundbreaking perspective on the origins of mathematical thought. Challenging the traditional view of mathematics as a purely objective and abstract discipline, the authors argue that mathematical concepts are deeply rooted in human cognitive processes and bodily experiences. Central to their thesis is the role of conceptual metaphors—cognitive tools that allow humans to understand abstract concepts through more concrete experiences.
