Descripción
Sumario:What distinguishes humankind from other species? A leading candidate is our facility at mutual understanding (""theory of mind""), our ability to ascribe thoughts, desires, and feelings to one another. How do we do this? Folk-wisdom says, ""By empathy -- we put ourselves in other people's shoes"". In the last few decades this idea has moved from folk-wisdom to philosophical conjecture to serious scientific theory. This volume collects essays by Alvin Goldman, many of which have played a major role in crystallizing this ""simulation, "" or ""empathizing, "" account of mindreading and showing how.
