Samenvatting

The social practices and skills for giving, assessing, and responding to reasons play a key role in the constitution of uniquely human conceptual, epistemic, and deliberative powers. Although theorists in the past have articulated intriguing views on this topic, current research opens up new vistas that promise a deeper understanding of the way reason-seeking or -querying activities shape and scaffold the operations of human cognition. This volume offers resources for philosophers, cognitive scientists, developmental and comparative psychologists, and evolutionary anthropologists to continue this conversation.
