Recently, mapmaking has benefited from developments in electronic surveillance techniques and computer programming. The Ordnance Surveys are now using aerial photography coupled with detailed checking on the
2.1 How do we use maps? Reading about maps, I have been struck by the number of times that the idea of ‘maps as part of our everyday experience’ has been mentioned. In fact, I was thinking about it recently, when I was preparing to travel from Belfast to London.

Genesi e sviluppo delle teorie sul farsi della mente in Jerome Bruner (seconda lezione)
Quale origine ha l’esperienza? È il risultato dei nostri poteri essenzialmente associativi (Associazionismo) ovvero è la conseguenza d’uso delle nostre categorie innate di spazio e di tempo (Innatismo); è riducibile solo ai dati di esperienza sensoriale che noi accumuliamo come risposte agli stimoli ambientali (oggettivismo); è la prova della natura fisica e biologica dei nostri stati mentali (fisicalismo) ovvero, al contrario, l’asserzione dell’efficacia causale della mente stessa (
