Abstract

Spelke's What Babies Know masterfully describes infants' impressive repertoire of core cognitive concepts, from which the suite of human knowledge is eventually built. The current commentary argues for the existence of a core concept that Spelke claims preverbal infants lack: social goal. Core social goal concepts, operative extremely early in human development, underlie infants' basic abilities to interpret and evaluate entities within the moral world; such abilities support claims for a core moral domain.

前语言婴儿对核心社会目标的理解（或许还有核心道德）的证据。

斯佩尔克的《婴儿知多少》（What Babies Know）一书精湛地描述了婴儿令人印象深刻的核心认知概念库，人类的知识体系最终就是从这些概念库中建立起来的。本评论论证了斯佩尔克所说的前语婴幼儿缺乏的核心概念：社会目标。核心社会目标概念在人类发展的极早期就已发挥作用，是婴儿解释和评价道德世界中实体的基本能力的基础；这种能力支持了核心道德领域的主张。
