Zwicky defends the claim that we experience meaning in the apprehension of wholes and their internal structural relations. She provides examples of such insight in mathematics and physics, literature, music, and Plato's ancient theory of forms. Taken together, these essays constitute a powerful indictment of the aggressive reductionism and the reliance on calculative modes of thought that dominate our present conception of understanding, The Experience of Meaning proposes a more just epistemology, arguing for a new grammar of thought, a new way of understanding the relationship of human intelligence to the world. Engaging with philosophy, psychology, literature, fine arts, music, and environmental studies in a profound way, The Experience of Meaning will interest any reader who ponders the question of meaning and its relation to true human expression."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Experience. 650 0 $a Meaning (Philosophy) 650 0 $a Meaning (Psychology) 776 08 $i Online version: $a Zwicky, Jan, 1955- $t Experience of meaning. $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019 $z 9780773558502 $z 9780773558502 $w (OCoLC)1083100622 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802021914.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01C729429C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
