Mentality and Thought Per Durst-Andersen 第1 版本

Mentality and Thought North, South, East and West presents the reader with an informed pluri-disciplinary discussion of the concept of mentality, its relevance and its interconnection with culture past and present, on the one hand, and cognition and mental frames on the other.
Each of the four parts of the book offers insights gained from applying a particular perspective:

• Historiography and linguistics in Part One: Towards an Understanding of Mentality and Its Foundations
• Indian and European epistemology and ontology in Part Two: Fundamentals of Mentality
• Cultural and political representations in Part Three: Area Studies in Mentality and in Part Four: National studies in Mentality .

The book is of relevance to scholars as well as students interested in the interplay between culture, mentality and cognition.
