Description
Formal languages are often viewed as mathematical objects that offer precision and technical complexity in logical investigations. However, this narrow focus overlooks the broader impact of formal languages on human reasoning. Catarina Dutilh Novaes takes a more comprehensive approach to understanding formal languages, exploring their history, philosophy, and cognitive effects. By examining the historical development of formal languages, psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy, she sheds light on how these tools shape our thinking. This book provides valuable insights for scholars in philosophy, logic, psychology, and computer science, offering a nuanced understanding of the role of formal languages in human reasoning.
