Synopsis
Modes of Thought addresses a topic of broad interest to the cognitive sciences. Its central focus is on the apparent contrast between the widely assumed 'psychological unity of mankind' and the facts of cognitive pluralism, the diverse ways in which people think and the developmental, cultural, technological and institutional factors which contribute to that diversity. Whether described in terms of modes of thought, cognitive styles, or sensibilities, the diversity of patterns of rationality to be found between cultures, in different historical periods, between individuals at different stages of development remains a central problem for a cultural psychology. Modes of Thought brings together anthropologists, historians, psychologists and educational theorists who manage to recognise the universality in thinking and yet acknowledge the cultural, historical and developmental contexts in which differences arise.

Review
'The editors bring together an impressive array of contributors in a powerful and productive way. This volume clarifies implications of the intellectual debate for readers involved in practical areas, such as education and psychotherapy. Impressive and provocative.' James Wertsch, Washington University
Book Description
Is human rationality essentially the same through historical epochs and across dramatically different cultural contexts? Or is rationality itself a particular cultural goal and cultural achievement? Thirteen leading scholars examine the issues of universality and diversity from anthropological, historical, psychological, developmental and educational perspectives.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A central problem in cultural psychology is the diversity of patterns of rationality among cultures, historical periods, and stages of personal development. The distinguished contributors to this volume maintain that the acknowledgement of the inconsistency of rational patterns is not necessarily at odds with the traditional notion of the "psychological unity" of humankind. Leading psychologists, anthropologists, historians, and educational theorists explore this issue in considerable depth, citing relevant examples and problems relating to their specific areas of expertise. Scholars of social and psychological disciplines will find this text to be informative and thought-provoking. Is human rationality the same through historical epochs and across different cultural contexts? Or is rationality itself a particular cultural goal and cultural achievement? Thirteen scholars examine the issues of universality and diversity from anthropological, historical, psychological, developmental and educational perspectives.
