Abstract:
Diagrammatic reasoning is crucial for human cognition. It is hard to think of
any forms of science or knowledge without the "intermediary world" of diagrams
and diagrammatic representation in thought experiments and/or processes,
manifested in forms as divers as notes, tables, schemata, graphs, drawings and
maps. Despite their phenomenological and structural-functional differences,
these forms of representation share a number of important attributes and
epistemic functions. Combining aspects of linguistic and pictorial symbolism,
diagrams go beyond the traditional distinction between language and image.
They do not only represent, yet intervene in what is represented. Their
spatiality, materiality and operativity establish a dynamic tool to
exteriorize thinking, thus contributing to the idea of the extended mind. They
foster imagination and problem solving, facilitate orientation in knowledge
spaces and the discovery of unsuspected relationships.
How can the diagrammatic nature of cognitive and knowledge practices be
theorized historically as well as systematically? This is what this volume
explores by investigating the semiotic dimension of diagrams as to knowledge,
information and reasoning, e.g., the 'thing-ness' of diagrams in the history
of art, the range of diagrammatic reasoning in logic, mathematics, philosophy
and the sciences in general, including the knowledge function of maps.
