Other Minds Focus Group
People’s ability to think about other human beings, interpret
the meaning of their actions, and reason about the motivations
underlying them has been variously called their "theory of
mind," "folk psychology," or "common-sense
psychology." Several members of the Institute explore research
questions surrounding this fundamental human ability and its relationship
to language, imagination, and social interaction. Though there
are no regular meetings at this time, you may contact Bertram
Malle if you are interested in starting up such meetings.
