The Cartesian Conception of the Development of the Mind and Its Neo-Aristotelian Alternative (2020)

unapi

This article discusses some essential differences between the Cartesian and neo-Aristotelian conceptions of child development. It argues that we should prefer the neo-Aristotelian conception since it is capable of resolving the problems the Cartesian conception is confronted by. This is illustrated by discussing the neo-Aristotelian alternative to the Cartesian explanation of the development of volitional powers (the ideo-motor theory), and the neo-Aristotelian alternative to the Cartesian simulation theory and theory–theory account of the development of social cognition. The neo-Aristotelian conception is further elaborated by discussing how it differs from both behaviorism and cognitive neuroscience.
