Making Sense

Autor David R. Olson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2023
Drawing together developmental and philosophical theories of mind, this book argues that understanding is little more than the ability to ascribe understanding to oneself, a development that depends critically on acquiring the linguistic concept of understanding. This account of understanding provides a model for mental states more generally.

Recenzii

'When David R. Olson asked his apparently pre-verbal 1-year-old to get her shoes, she promptly complied - much to his surprise. That incident planted the seed for a deep enquiry. Had she truly understood him? What does it mean to ascribe understanding to such a young child? We also need to consider who is doing the ascribing. Are young children able to ascribe understanding to themselves? And what about animals and computers? Drawing on the contributions of philosophers, linguists, and psychologists, David R. Olson proposes that understanding is a uniquely human capacity, slowly acquired as part of a web of language practices. His book is a provocative and original contribution to the study of children's theory of mind.' Paul Lansley Harris, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA
