Rethinking Commonsense Psychology: A Critique of Folk Psychology, Theory of Mind and Simulation - New Directions in Philosophy and Cognitive Science
Matthew Ratcliffe
This book offers arguments against the view that interpersonal understanding involves a 'folk' or 'commonsense' psychology, a view which Ratcliffe suggests is a theoretically motivated abstraction. His alternative account draws on phenomenology, neuroscience and developmental psychology, exploring patterned interactions in shared social situations.
