This work represents the first integrated account of how deixis
operates to facilitate points of view, providing the raw material
for reconciling index and object. The book offers a fresh, applied
philosophical approach using original empirical evidence to show
that deictic demonstratives hasten the recognition of core
representational constructs. It presents a case where the
comprehension of shifting points of view by means of deixis is
paramount to a theory of mind and to a worldview that incorporates
human components of discovering and extending spatial knowledge.
The book supports Peirce's triadic sign theory as a more adequate
explanatory account compared with those of Buhler and Piaget.
Peirce's unitary approach underscores the artificiality of
constructing a worldview driven by logical reasoning alone; it
highlights the importance of self-regulation and the appreciation
of otherness within a sociocultural milieu. Integral to this
semiotic perspective is imagination as a primary tool for situating
the self in constructed realities, thus infusing reality with new
possibilities. Imagination is likewise necessary to establish
postures of mind for the self and others. Within these imaginative
scenarios (consisting of overt, and then covert self dialogue)
children construct their own worldviews, through linguistic
role-taking, as they legitimize conflicting viewpoints within
imagined spatial frameworks.
