Reviews the book, Social Interaction and the Development of Knowledge by Jeremy I. M. Carpendale and Ulrich Müller (Eds.) (see record rid]2004-00110-000/rid]). This is an edited collection of papers that attempts to develop a theoretical basis and justification for the study of social interaction in development. This collection can be seen as a valuable effort to reflect on the theoretical consequences of Piaget's articles on current understanding of the role of social interaction in cognitive development. The collection of papers offers a framework for avoiding two common problems in developmental psychology: the loss of the subject in the social world and the loss of the social in the study of mind. This theoretical framework sets up a program for the empirical study of the person in her or his social world. This book makes strong theoretical propositions about capturing the emergence of novelty and development. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
