This section is about the landscape in our heads - a location 'off the map' as far as present day science is concerned. So let's be clear about this. We are not talking about the geography of the brain; now a well established science; but about the geography of the human experience that is mediated by this brain. We are talking about a geography of meaning. And in this section, we look at the force that created this landscape: the human imagination. In particular, we pose three major questions:
1) Can there be such a thing as a science of meaning? Are there rules to its logic, just as there are to the logic of organic life and physics? We visit Bugs Bunny for an answer.
2) Where does such a science belong in the overall scheme of things? What does this landscape of the imagination draw on for its raw materials? We step back to examine the three great levels of reality present on planet Earth.
3) Why didn't Homo sapiens stick to tried and tested strategies honed by millions of years of natural selection? How did such a risky thing as the imagination evolve? We look at its origins in what might be fancifully called 'Animal Grammar'.
