[Philosophy of Social Cognition] Second Meeting

[Martyna Meyer]

Dear all,

Thank you for the great first meeting last week.
I would like to warmly welcome new subscribers to this mailing list. I'm 
excited for our upcoming discussions!


Now, as for the housekeeping:

For the first meeting (which happened on Tue, March 7), we have read:
Fenici, M. (2017). Rebuilding the Landscape of Psychological 
Understanding After the Mindreading War. Phenomenology and Mind, 12, 
Article 12. https://doi.org/10.13128/Phe_Mi-21113
(Accessible here: 
https://oaj.fupress.net/index.php/pam/article/view/7273/7253)

We also talked about the False Belief Task

*This week, we will read*:
O’Madagain, C., & Tomasello, M. (2019). *Joint attention to mental 
content and the social origin of reasoning*. /Synthese, 198/(5), 
4057–4078. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11229-019-02327-1
You can *access it here*: 
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11229-019-02327-1

It is a recent paper, co-authored by one of the big names in the 
Theory-of-Mind game: Michael Tomasello. I hope it will facilitate an 
interesting discussion on the topic of joint attention as we examine the 
general idea of and the assumptions behind Theory of Mind.

*Optional:*
If you’d like to read more, I encourage you to take a look at the paper 
responsible for this mess:
Premack, D., & Woodruff, G. (1978). Does the chimpanzee have a theory of 
mind? /Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1/(4), 515–526. 
https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x00076512
