UC Berkeley psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik, whose research focuses on the active emotional and intellectual lives of newborns and young children, will discuss her latest book, The Philosophical Baby: What Children’s Minds Tell Us About Truth, Love, and the Meaning of Life, at Jewish Family and Children’s Services in San Francisco, at 2150 Post St., on Thursday, October 7. The 6:30 talk is co-presented by JFCS’ family resource center—Parents Place—along with the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library and Golden Gate Mothers Group. Tickets are $15 for the general public and free for the Friends and the GGMG.
In The Philosophical Baby, Dr. Gopnik posits that babies are far more aware and perceptive than originally thought. Their imaginations and insights are the stuff of which discoveries are made. The event will offer sale of The Philosophical Baby and a book signing; light refreshments will also be served.
