  • More about The Human Mind through the Lens of Language: Generative Explorations

Nirmalangshu Mukherji's book introduces a novel philosophical approach to the study of the generative mind, arguing for a single, species-specific generative principle that accounts for the human ability to combine symbolic forms without bound in each domain.

Format: Hardback
Length: 280 pages
Publication date: 28 July 2022
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC


Living organisms in nature exhibit diverse cognitive abilities in their behavior, distinguishing them from other animals. While humans possess unique abilities such as fire-building, wheel-making, map-reading, and storytelling, no other species engages in these activities. This unique aspect of the human mind is evident in various creative pursuits, including painting, singing, and cooking, where a common generative principle governs the process. Despite the wide range of domains encompassed by the generative mind, Nirmalangshu Mukherji proposes a single, species-specific generative principle that explains the human capacity to combine symbolic forms without limitations in each domain. This book presents, defends, and elaborates on this novel philosophical approach to the study of the generative mind.
