Acquiring a Conception of Mind

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the evolution of the human mind, this text delves into the complexities of social interaction and the development of understanding from infancy to adulthood. It challenges the notion that a significant cognitive shift occurs at age four, proposing instead that children possess early potential for grasping concepts of the mind, albeit constrained by a focus on material reality. Language is highlighted as a crucial tool that enables children to think abstractly, facilitating their journey towards a deeper comprehension of mental processes and social coordination.
