Tania Zittoun demonstrates that there is pleasure in thinking, and
that the pleasure of thinking plays a key role in our lives – in
the development of children, in learning, in adult life, and in
ageing. Drawing on arts and philosophy, exploring research in
developmental psychology, cultural psychology, and psychoanalysis,
it highlights five modalities of thinking: curiosity, the
functional pleasure of pursuing a task, the pleasure of discovery,
the dialogical pleasure of thinking with others, and a
meta-pleasure. This book proposes a unique integrative model of
thinking, conceived as a situated activity, following trajectories
that combine modalities of pleasure. Evolving with time, the
pleasure of thinking can take place as we reason, make sense, or
daydream, at school, at work, when we garden, or do science.
Academics and graduate students in sociocultural, critical,
developmental, and cognitive psychology will benefit from The
Pleasure of Thinking.
