Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume presents essays by pioneering thinkers including Tyler Burge, Gregory Chaitin, Daniel Dennett, Barry Mazur, Nicholas Humphrey, John Searle and Ian Stewart. Together they illuminate the Map/Territory Distinction that underlies at the foundation o…f the scientific method, thought and the very reality itself.It is imperative to distinguish Map from the Territory while analyzing any subject but we often mistake map for the territory. Meaning for the Reference. Computational tool for what it computes. Representations are handy and tempting that we often end up committing the category error of over-marrying the representation with what is represented, so much so that the distinction between the former and the latter is lost. This error that has its roots in the pedagogy often generates a plethora of paradoxes/confusions which hinder the proper understanding of the subject. What are wave functions Fields Forces Numbers Sets Classes Operators Functions Alphabets and Sentences Are they a part of our map (theory/representation) Or do they actually belong to the territory (Reality) Researcher, like a cartographer, clothes (or creates ) the reality by stitching multitudes of maps that simultaneously co-exist. A simple apple, for example, can be analyzed from several viewpoints beginning with evolution and biology, all the way down its microscopic quantum mechanical components. Is there a reality (or a real apple) out there apart from these maps How do these various maps interact/intermingle with each other to produce a coherent reality that we interact with Or do they not Does our brain uses its own internal maps to facilitate 'physicist/mathematician' in us to construct the maps about the external territories in turn If so, what is the nature of these internal maps Are there meta-maps Evolution definitely fences our perception and thereby our ability to construct maps, revealing to us only those aspects beneficial for our survival. But the question is, to what extent Is there a way out of the metaphorical Platonic cave erected around us by the nature While 'Map is not the territory' as Alfred Korzybski remarked, join us in this journey to know more, while we inquire on the nature and the reality of the maps which try to map the reality out there.The book also includes a foreword by Sir Roger Penrose and an afterword by Dagfinn Follesdal.
