Description
This book explores how human minds develop through social interactions. Developmental psychologists Jeremy Carpendale and Charlie Lewis examine the processes that shape our capacity for reflection, self-awareness, and unique human intelligence.
They argue that aspects of thinking are not solely inborn, but rather emerge from complex relationships between children and their environment. The authors draw on examples from their own research, including questions and anecdotes from their children, to illustrate how language, thinking, and morality develop in a social context.
The book offers a compelling introduction to current debates about human development and the role of social processes in shaping our minds. By examining the emergence of communication and its relationship to language and moral understanding, Carpendale and Lewis provide a nuanced perspective on what makes us human.
