In this expansion of the ideas expressed in her work, "Children's Minds", the author presents a study of the development of the mind from birth to maturity. The author's argument brings into focus certain questions about the relations between thought and emotion: are our emotions bound to remain relatively primitive by comparison with our sophisticated forms of thought, as is often assumed? Or do we have open to us advanced forms of emotional development that are commonly unrealized? She questions the characteristics of the world's great religions, particularly Buddhism, which emerges as relevant in what it has to say about certain forms of personal growth. The author also wrote "A Study of Children's Thinking".
Part 1 Development in childhood: modes of mind - an introduction; some human ways of dealing with hard fact; the point mode and its origins in infancy; the onset of the line mode - remembered past and possible future; "pretend play" and conceptual choice; two varieties of the construct mode; language in relation to the modes; the intellectual transcendent mode. Part 2 Range and balance in maturity: the intellectual and value-sensing modes - a look at history; the modes and the advent of science; the advanced modes after the enlightenment; dealing with emotions - some Western ways; dealing with emotions - some Buddhist ways; value-sensing experiences - some contemporary evidence; other and better desires - prospects for a dual enlightenment. Appendix: the modes.
