About this Item

Paperback. This is the second volume of a projected three-volume set on the subject of innateness. The volume is highly interdisciplinary, and addresses such question as: To what extent are mature cognitive capacities a reflection of particular cultures and to what extent are they a product of innate elements? How do innate elements interact with culture to achieve mature cognitive capacities? How do minds generate and shape cultures? How are cultures processed by minds? Thevolume will be of great importance to anyone interested in the interplay between culture and the innate mind. This is the second volume of a three volume series on innateness - one of the central questions currently debated in the cognitive and behavioural sciences.
