„The work of Marek Kuzniak offers a discussion situated mainly in the discourse of the philosophy of mind and partly cognitive science. The book is very interesting, controversial and has the potential to resonate in the circles of language theoreticians and philosophers“. Barbara LewandowskaTomaszczyk, State University of Applied Sciences in Konin, Poland For many readers, this monograph may become the beginning of a fascinating journey to the mathematical origins of modern science. The Geometry of Choice can also be seen as another chapter in the history of the „linguistics wars“: a bold, albeit controversial attempt to embed the cognitive and social sciences in Neoplatonic philosophy“. Agnieszka Libura, University of Wroclaw, Poland „The book is a welcome attempt that offers hope that cognitive-linguistic tools may be profitably employed to shed light on the human condition. I recommend this book in the belief that it will contribute to the debate concerning the potential of cognitive-linguistic methodology in the humanities and social sciences“. Andrzej Pawelec, Jagiellonian University, Poland „How do human beings choose? Science scarcely knows. How do human beings conceive of choice? That is a question this work takes up, provocatively, and with many challenges for those who ask this question“. Mark Turner, Case Western Reserve University, USA This book offers a cognitive-semantic insight into the roots of the human decision-making process, using the metaphor of CHOICE AS CUBE. The areas of key interest are language, culture, and education as forms of social organization. This book addresses issues relevant to a number of fields, including social epistemology, cognitive linguistics, cognitive anthropology, philosophy, culture and education studies, and will be of interest to readers in these and related disciplines. Marek Kuzniak is a Professor of Linguistics at Wroclaw University, Poland. He is the author of books and articles in cognitive linguistics, legal translation, pragmatics, and philosophy of language. He is a member of numerous Polish and international associations, including the Polish Linguistic Association, Polish Cognitive Linguistics Association, Linguistic Society of America, and Societas Linguistica Europaea.
