Abstract

In this paper I argue that to understand minded agency - the capacity we typically find instantiated in instances of human behaviour that could sensibly be questioned by asking "What did you do?" - one needs to understand childhood, i.e. the trajectory of learning to act. I discuss two different types of trajectory, both of which seem to take place during childhood and both of which might be considered crucial to learning to act: a growth of bodily control (GBC) and a growth in taking responsibility (GTR). The discussion of GTR takes up about half of the entire paper. In the final two sections I argue that GTR is the most promising trajectory in terms of which to understand a child’s process of learning to act.

学习表演

在这篇论文中，我认为要理解有意识的能动性——我们通常在人类行为实例中发现的一种能力，这种能力可以通过问“你做了什么?”-我们需要了解童年，即学习行动的轨迹。我讨论了两种不同类型的轨迹，这两种轨迹似乎都发生在童年时期，并且都可能被认为是学习行动的关键:身体控制的增长(GBC)和承担责任的增长(GTR)。关于GTR的讨论占了整篇文章的一半左右。在最后两节中，我认为GTR是最有希望理解儿童学习行动过程的轨迹。

期刊介绍： Symposion was published for the first time in 2003, as Symposion – Revistă de științe socio-umane (Symposion – A Journal of Humanities), with the purpose of providing a supportive space for academic communication, dialogue, and debate, both intra and interdisciplinary, for philosophical humanities and social and political sciences. Symposion: Theoretical and Applied Inquiries in Philosophy and Social Sciences shares essentially the same purpose. Its main aim is to promote and provide open access to peer-reviewed, high quality contributions (articles, discussion notes, review essays or book reviews) in philosophy, other humanities, and social and political sciences connected with philosophy.
