The question of innateness, or nativism, is one of the most heated
problems in philosophy, reaching as far back as Plato but
generating fierce debates in contemporary philosophy and cognitive
science. Which aspects of the human mind are innate and which are
the products of experience? Do we have any innate concepts or
knowledge or are all the contents of the mind acquired by means of
learning? Innateness and Cognition is a much-needed overview of
this important problem. Through addressing the following topics
M.J. Cain argues for a nativist perspective which, nevertheless,
finds an important role for culture and social learning in
cognitive development: the nature of innateness the coherence and
explanatory value of the concept of innateness the acquisition of
concepts and the role of learning in conceptual development domain
specific knowledge, including the 'massive modularity' thesis and
the theory of core knowledge domains cognitive development relating
the theory of mind and mathematics the relationship between
biological and cultural evolution and their respective roles in
cognitive development language and innateness, particularly
Chomsky's linguistic nativism and challenges to this morality,
moral judgment, and innateness. Innateness and Cognition is an
excellent resource for those researching and studying philosophy of
psychology and philosophy of mind, as well as those interested in
foundational issues in cognitive science, psychology, linguistics,
and anthropology.
