216: Mind Reading

from Philosophy Talk Starters · host Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/mind-reading. We base many decisions every day not only on the belief that other people have minds, but on detailed beliefs about what is going on in those minds: what these other people believe, feel, hope, and fear. The basis of our ability to "read" the minds of others is a lively area of research in psychology and the philosophy of psychology. Ken and John discuss mind-reading with Shaun Nichols from the University of Arizona, author of "Mindreading: An Integrated Account of Pretense, Self-Awareness and Understanding Other Minds."
