The capacity to predicate appears to be neither innate nor learned, yet it is universal among humans. Puzzling in evolutionary, developmental, and philosophical terms, the mental competence for predication still awaits a coherent and plausible explanation. In this exploration of the predicative roots of human thinking, Radu Bogdan takes up the challenge." "Bogdan argues that predication is not only an outcome of development but also a by-product of uniquely human features of development, many of them social in nature and unrelated to representation, cognition, and thinking. Humans develop predicative minds for disparate reasons, which bear initially on physiological coregulation, affective and manipulative communication, and the socially shared acquisition of words. Once developed, the competence for predication in turn redesigns human thinking and communication. Predication is at the heart of conscious, deliberate, explicit, and language-based human thinking, and it is the fuel of higher mental activities. Understanding the uniqueness and representational power of the human mind, Bogdan contends, requires an explanation of why and how predication came to be."--Jacket. 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aThought and thinking$xSocial aspects 606 $aThought and thinking 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aThought and thinking$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aThought and thinking. 676 $a153.4/3 700 $aBogdan$b Radu J$0190911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454296303321 996 $aPredicative minds$92071554 997 $aUNINA
