Mental Spaces as Mental Reality

148

Abstract

Two main questions are discussed in the article. First, if we can find an appropriate place for a mental space concept in the system of basic psychological concepts and use them for theoretical interpretation of it’s meaning. Second, if mental spaces have the same essential marks of existence, which are viewed as such in cases of mental phenomena which are already described. Also a problem of mental spaces’ ontogenetic evolution is discussed.
