Understanding, as Descartes, Locke and Kant all insisted, is the
primary 'faculty' of the mind; yet our modern sciences have been
slow to advance a clear and testable account of what it means to
understand, of children's acquisition of this concept and, in
particular, how children come to ascribe understanding to
themselves and others. By drawing together developmental and
philosophical theories, this book provides a systematic account of
children's concept of understanding and places understanding at the
heart of children's 'theory of mind'. Children's subjective
awareness of their own minds, of what they think, depends on
learning a language for ascribing mental states to themselves and
others. This book will appeal to researchers in developmental
psychology, cognitive science, education and philosophy who are
interested in the cognitive and emotional development of children
and in the more basic question of what it means to have a mind.
