What Children’s Minds Tell Us About Truth, Love,
and the Meaning of Life
Leading child psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik examines children’s imaginations, their consciousness, and their ideas about love and morality, and finds that the way they play, pretend, and explore are actually part of the most profound and fundamental aspects of human nature. It is through play and imagination that children solve problems of morality, learn about the world around them, and create bonds with other people.
Dr. Gopnik, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, is the author of The Scientist in the Crib.
