Description:
Jane Heal argues that central to our ability to arrive at views about others’ thoughts is not knowledge of some theory of the mind but rather an ability to imagine alternative worlds and how things appear from another person’s point of view. She then applies this view to questions of how we represent others’ thoughts, the shape of psychological concepts, the nature of rationality and the possibility of first person authority. This book is of interest to students and professionals in philosophy of mind and language.
