(1984) Imagery in scientific thought, Basel, Birkhäuser.
WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS of scientific concepts? How are scientific concepts transformed as science progresses? What is the role of mental imagery in scientific research? How do scientists invent or discover theories? Because these problems go right to the heart of the age-old inquiry of how we construct knowledge through interacting with the world we live in, they have long occupied scientists and philosophers and, more recently, historians of science and cognitive psychologists.
