Date: 2006-06-11 16:44 (UTC)From:I saw a book I liked quite a lot at Borders: "What is Thought", by Eric Baum, from MIT Press. There might not be anything new in there for you -- I think it just says that thought is an evolved computation device or something. It's written from an AI perspective so I enjoyed the topics as I skimmed through in the store. Also, a large part of his argument is about the utility of compact representations in thought, and as such he makes plenty of ties into metaphor/analogy.
