We spend a lot of time thinking about other people: their motivations, what they are thinking, why they want particular things. Sometimes we are aware of it, but it often occurs without conscious thought, and we can respond appropriately to other people''s thoughts in a diverse range of situations.
The Social Mind: A Philosophical Introductionexamines the cognitive capacities that facilitate this amazing ability. It explains and critiques key philosophical theories about how we think about other people''s minds, measuring them against empirical findings from neuroscience, anthropology, developmental psychology and cognitive ethology. Some of the fascinating questions addressed include:
These questions are applied to case studies throughout the book, including mirror neurons, recent research on infant social cognition, false belief tasks, and cross-cultural studies.
Covering complex interdisciplinary debates in an accessible and clear way, with chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary,The Social Mind: A Philosophical Introductionis an ideal entry point into this fast-moving and exciting field. It is essential reading for students of philosophy of mind and psychology, and also of interest to those in related subjects such as cognitive science, social and developmental psychology, and anthropology.
