Narrative and Folk Psychology (Paperback)

Folk psychology refers to our everyday practice of making sense of actions, both our own and those of others, in terms of reasons. This volume, which is a special issue of the "Journal of Consciousness Studies", brings together new work by scholars from a range of disciplines (anthropology, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy) whose aim is to clarify, develop and challenge the claim that folk psychology may be importantly - perhaps even constitutively - related to narrative practices. This book is part of a wider project by its editor, Daniel D. Hutto, Professor of Philosophical Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, exploring this central issue of consciousness studies. Table of Contents includes: Folk Psychology As Narrative Practice (Daniel D. Hutto); Storied Minds: Narrative Scaffolding for Folk Psychology (David Herman); Narrative Practices and Folk Psychology: A Perspective from Developmental Psychology (Katherine Nelson); The Plot Thickens: What Children's Stories Tell Us about Mindreading (Michelle Scalise Sugiyama); What's the Story Behind 'Theory of Mind' and Autism?(Matthew K. Belmonte); Talk and Children's Understanding of Mind (William Turnbull, Jeremy I.M. Carpendale and Timothy P. Racine); Objects In a Storied World: Materiality, Normativity, Narrativity (Chris Sinha); Evidentiality and Narrative (Jill de Villiers and Jay Garfield); and, 'Hearing Is Believing': Amazonian Trickster Myths as Folk Psychological Narratives (Jonathan D. Hill). It also includes: Joint Attention in Apes and Humans: Are Humans Unique?(David A. Leavens and Timothy P. Racine); Telling Stories Without Words (Kristin Andrews); Two Problems of Intersubjectivity (Shaun Gallagher); Mirror In Action (Corrado Sinigaglia); The Narrative Practice Hypothesis and Externalist Theory Theory: For Compatibility, Against Collapse (Marc Slors); In Defence of (Model) Theory Theory (Heidi Maibom); and, There Are No Folk Psychological Narratives (Matthew Ratcliffe).
