Descartes and Rousseau:An Inquiry into How to Understand Children in the Problem of Other Minds
The general problem of other minds mainly covers two basic questions of whether the other minds exist and whether the other minds can be understood.In the adult-child relationship,the problem of other minds changes to the existence of children's minds and the adult's understanding of children's minds.Descartes and Rousseau represent two different paths of understanding the children's minds.Descartes gives rise to the general problem of other minds and doubts the existence of children's minds,which is the rationalist path of solipsistic epistemology;Rousseau,based on"dialogue"with Descartes,discovers children's minds as the minds of sensation of body and natural goodness,which is the romantic path of virtue theory.However,Rousseau's discovery still bears traces of Descartes.Descartes and Rousseau were two early key figures who laid the foundation of the views on children.They have a profound impact on the modern education.
