Other minds, why do they matter?

  • Other minds why do they matter?
    Jane Heal Cambridge University
    Are psychological concepts – like belief, guess, memory, desire, intention – a sort of scientific concept? Are they useful to us mainly because we can use them to predict and control what other people will do? Or do they have some other role in our lives?
    This talk will suggest that thinking of them as like scientific concepts is a mistake. We will understand them better when we see their connection with the fact that we are social animals and, sometimes, we work out what to think and do together.
