The Mother's Smile
Book •
In 'The Mother's Smile,' Esther Meek investigates how early caregiving interactions—especially those between mother and infant—contribute to the formation of cognitive and affective capacities for knowing.
She argues that foundational epistemic skills are cultivated through embodied relational practices in infancy, which shape perception, trust, and attention.
The book draws on philosophy, developmental psychology, and theological reflection to account for how early attachment practices ground lifelong ways of engaging the world.
Meek's work extends her broader project of applying Polanyian insights to the full human lifespan, emphasizing the moral and relational dimensions of knowledge.
The book is aimed at scholars and readers interested in education, theology, and developmental studies.
