to cultivate a sense of individualism. Dialogue

changes in, say, adolescence are linked to a
continuum of change beginning in childhood and
continuing throughout life. Some theorists, such
as Piaget, were interested...

involved the attempt to come to grips with the
problem of mind and body and how they interact

(written around the 1630 s) that we owe the first
systematic account of the mind / body
relationship. When Descartes friend and frequent
