This essay treats the work of Suzanne K. Langer on the evolution of mind and the philosophy of art, first by explaining her complex and original thought processes and then by placing them in the later context of research performed by psychoneurologist, Richard Cytowic, whose studies of cognition provide clinical support for her bold hypothesis. Her thesis, in the fewest possible words, is that the human mind, including the powers of language and rational thought, originated from the evolution of feeling in early animal species to Homo sapiens, the "symbol-making animal." Langer's magnum opus, Mind: An Essay on Human Feeling, emerged out of her lifelong study of the arts, which she calls the "creation of forms symbolic of human feeling," and much of the foundation for her theory of mind is based on her earlier ground-breaking achievements in the philosophy of art.
