Cognitive neurosciences indicate that integration and differentiation are two fundamental properties of conscious experience as well as of the nervous system. The Author analyses Bernstein’s idea of dexterity (1946-47) and Edelman’s idea of degeneracy (2001) in their historical and theoretical context, and suggests that these brain-mind characteristics are at the basis of the neurobiological mechanisms of metaphor creation.

Abstract
Cognitive neurosciences indicate that integration and differentiation are two fundamental properties of conscious experience as well as of the nervous system. The Author analyses Bernstein’s idea of dexterity (1946-47) and Edelman’s idea of degeneracy (2001) in their historical and theoretical context, and suggests that these brain-mind characteristics are at the basis of the neurobiological mechanisms of metaphor creation.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
