The examination and evaluation of folk psychology and lay cognition
has been carried out predominantly in two domains: personality and
social psychology, and the philosophy of psychology. Yet, work in
these two areas has largely proceeded independently. The assumption
on which this volume is founded is that a proper comparison between
scientific cognition and folk ways of thought rests on an adequate
study of both science and folk psychology. With this in mind, the
author provides an analysis of the intricate, and often hidden,
links between these two spheres. In doing so, the book poses two
related questions. First, what is the nature of folk psychology and
how is it related to scientific psychology? Second, of what should
the relationship between folk psychology and scientific psychology
consist? In answering these two questions, the author draws
extensively from research and arguments in social psychology and
social cognition, cognitive science, and the philosophy of science.
The interdisciplinary approach gives the book a unique perspective
that will be of interest to scholars working in social psychology,
cognitive science, and philosophy of science. Written in a concise
and accessible style, this volume is suitable for undergraduate and
graduate students as well as a general psychological
audience.
