The Philosophical Baby: What Children's Minds Tell Us about Truth, Love, and the Meaning of Life
by Alison Gopnik |  | How do babies think? What is it like to be a baby? How much do our experiences as children shape our adult lives? In the last decade there has been a revolution in our understanding of the minds of infants and young children. We used to believe that babies were irrational, and that their thinking and experience were limited. Now Alison Gopnik—a leading psychologist and philosopher, as well as a mother—explains the cutting-edge scientific and psychological research that has revealed that babies learn more, create more, care more, and experience more than we could ever have imagined. And there is good reason to believe that babies are actually smarter, more thoughtful, and more conscious than adults.
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (August 4, 2009)
Product Dimensions: 8.4 x 5.4 x 1.1 inches
Paperback: 304 pages | Reviews:
"The great American psychologist William James described the infant's worldview as a `blooming, buzzing confusion.' Gopnik's book is a challenge to this notion. Based partly on her own pioneering studies, she brings to life the sophisticated mental capacities of infants. A great read." -V. S. Ramachandran, author of Phantoms in the Brain: Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind
"One of our best writers, Gopnik reveals the inner workings of those minds that have been wrapped in mystery for all of human time: our children's." -Daniel Levitin, author of This Is Your Brain on Music
"In The Philosophical Baby, Alison Gopnik reveals the latest scientific discoveries-many of them quite surprising-about the developing minds of young children. She also presents a richly provocative and endlessly insightful story that unites the endearing other-worldliness of children's imaginations with some of the oldest and most profound questions in philosophy. This book is at once touching, eloquent, and masterful in its fascinating revelations about what makes us human." -Frank J. Suloway, author of Born to Rebel
"Alison Gopnik's absorbing, smart, and enjoyable book might be better titled The Philosophical Developmental Psychologist. Her remarkably thoughtful and carefully reasoned studies into how babies learn and think give intriguing insights and invite new ways of reflecting on consciousness and creativity in adults as well. In a refreshing counterpoint to speculations in evolutionary psychology, her lucid and engaging descriptions of experiments with babies demonstrate how much can be understood simply by asking the right questions with an open and critical mind. Parents and scientists will enjoy the insights but so will anyone who has thought about the question of what it means to be human." -Lisa Randall, Professor of Physics, Harvard University, and author of Warped Passages
"What is it like to be a baby? In this astonishingly interesting book, Alison Gopnik reminds us about what we can't remember. In the process, she teaches us a tremendous amount about the human condition and how the mind is made." -Jonah Lehrer, author of How We Decide
“This book really makes you think about consciousness. The mind of a child is a strange and wonderful world." -Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures
"After convincing us that the seemingly familiar human child is actually wrapped in mystery, Alison Gopnik offers a compelling and convincing portrait of the opening years of life. This is scientific writing of the highest order." -Howard Gardner, author of Five Minds for the Future |
