Description

Theories of Theories of Mind brings together contributions by a distinguished international team of philosophers, psychologists, and primatologists, who between them address such questions as: what is it to understand the thoughts, feelings, and intentions of other people?

How does such an understanding develop in the normal child?

Why, unusually, does it fail to develop? And is any such mentalistic understanding shared by members of other species?

The volume's four parts together offer a state of the art survey of the major topics in the theory-theory/simulationism debate within philosophy of mind, developmental psychology, the aetiology of autism and primatology.

The volume will be of great interest to researchers and students in all areas interested in the 'theory of mind' debate.
