In the authors' view, the different perspectives on cognition afforded by Anglo-American cognitive science, Greimassian semiotics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis help us to redefine our very notion of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I historically situates the concepts of meaning and truth in twentieth-century semiotic theory and cognitive science. Part II contrasts the modes of Freudian case history to the general instance of Einstein's relativity theory and then sets forth a rhetoric of narrative based on the discourse of the aged. Part III examines in the context of literary studies an interdisciplinary concept of cultural cognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulture and Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for literary theorists, historians and philosophers of science; semioticians; and scholars and students of cultural studies, the sociology of literature, and science and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46457252839575,"sku":"9781501746727","price":2740.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781501746727.webp?v=1769181005","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/culture-and-cognition-the-boundaries-of-literary-and-scientific-inquiry-9781501746727","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
