Abstract

The metaphor of the mind, as expressed in the JEWAL Synthesis formwork of knowing, brings together the wisdom of Eastern philosophical psychology, Western philosophical tradition and depth psychology. The book's discussion establishes that the structure of human thinking can be usefully understood as founded on three degrees of abstraction - namely, the concrete, the imaginative and the prescinded. Secondly, the cognitive movements within and between the triads of abstract thinking explain the process of human motivation, interaction and growth through learning. Thirdly, the triadic-structured metaphor of the mind helps give new meaning to a number of long-standing polemics in relation to public administration, to present an insightful analysis of governance in modern, Western society.
