The Stories Children Tell by Susan Engel
Perhaps the oldest and most intriguing conundrum of all is the question: What is the mind? In the last decade an interdisciplinary approach, known as cognitive science, has emerged to study the mind with the ideas and methods forged by artificial intelligence researchers. The aim of this book is to suggest ways in which the cognitive science agenda can be shaped more meaningfully according to a view of mind proposed by Giambattista Vico two and a half centuries ago. This view is grounded on the products of imagination. By studying myths, poetry, narrations, etc., the cognitive scientist will discover the creative force behind them.Susan Engel is the creator and director of the Williams Program in Teaching and a developmental psychologist in the Department of Psychology at Williams College. She is a cofounder of The Hayground School in Eastern Long Island and published a teaching blog for The New York Times called Lessons.
