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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350062689\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nirmalangshu Mukherji","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094432084218,"sku":"9781350062689","price":101.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659698251358_book.jpg?v=1659792903","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-human-mind-through-the-lens-of-language-generative-explorations-9781350062689","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
