Is There an Indian Intellectual History? Introduction to ‘‘Theory and Method in Indian Intellectual History’’

playful and profound in a way unique to him, entitled ‘‘Is There an Indian Way of Thinking?’’ According to the possible emphases, this sentence could express at least four different questions (‘‘Is,’’ present/past; ‘‘an,’’ singular/plural; ‘‘Indian,’’ local/general; ‘‘thinking,’’ familiar/alien), to which Ramanujan supplies at least eight equally reasonable answers.

Identity covers and classifies a range of identity and similarity relations among the phonological form of these items. We refer, informally, to any ...

Approaching stimuli bias attention in numerical space.

Increasing evidence suggests that common mechanisms underlie the direction of attention in physical space and numerical space, along the mental number line. The small leftward bias (pseudoneglect) found on paper-and-pencil line bisection is also observed when participants 'bisect' number pairs, estimating (without calculating) the number midway between two others. Here we investigated the effec...
