摘要
The purpose this paper is to describe two theories drawn from second-generation cognitive science: the theory of embodiment and the theory of conceptual integration. The utility of these theories in understanding mathematical thinking will be illustrated by applying them to the analysis of selected mathematical ideas and processes, including proof. The argument is made that mathematical ideas are grounded in embodied physical experiences, either directly or indirectly, through mechanisms involving conceptual mappings among mental spaces.
