Visual thinking in the broad sense that not only refers to seeing and imagery (and their creation, e.g. drawing), but also imagination (the mind's eye).

List of topics of interest to me (WIP):

History of visual thinking in philosophy.
Using art forms as a means to think.
Various manuals from artists, scientists, architects, engineers, and others for thinking visually.
Geometry
- A variety of undergrad-level math texts that focus on visual aspects and/or geometric intuition.
- Geometry's influence on philosophical analysis.
- Geometry and art.
Graphic languages, dataviz, and notation itself (mathematical, musical, etc).
Visual and cognitive aspects of magic and illusion.
Poetry and Rhetoric:
- Ekphrasis.
