What do babies know? What do they feel and how do they come to understand what is happening around them and in their own bodies? What do they perceive and what do they know about objects? How do they begin to construct others as people with feelings and intentions? The answer is brief: babies perceive, feel the world and reflect on it in a much more complex way than we imagine. In this book, Philippe ROCHAT places theories on human development in a new and richer perspective. It articulates an ecological vision of how boys and girls organize their interpretation of the world, and explains how they develop their capacities and conceptual understanding in relation to three interrelated domains: the self, objects, and other people. Based on the great wealth of contemporary research on the baby, the author offers us a solid vision of many of the most controversial current issues, from neonatal imitation to the idea of number and, in general, on the development of self-awareness. In a thought-provoking conclusion, he describes early childhood as a series of fundamental transitions - so drastic that they are sometimes called “revolutions” - and delimits the mechanisms and processes that drive development.
