Product Review
"A major frontier of the social sciences is to integrate cognitive science with social science. Mark Turner's pioneering study is an imaginative contribution which will, I believe, force social scientists to turn their attention to this frontier."-- Douglass C. North, 1993 Nobel Laureate in Economics, Spencer T. Olin Professor in Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Cognitive Dimensions of Social Science (Psychology) (Hardcover)
Cognitive Dimensions of Social Science is skillfully written and deeply relevant to a wide range of social scientific endeavors. In it, Mark Turner traces the origin of human choices to conceptual blending - a subconscious cognitive process that affects how people make sense of complex environments. His work demonstrates the substantial benefits that emerge from integrating cognitive science principles into social scientific practice. Read this book and witness the seeds of a powerful new paradigm being sown.
