The cognitive ability to think about other people's psychological
states is known as `mindreading'. This Element critiques
assumptions that have been formative in shaping philosophical
theories of mindreading: that mindreading is ubiquitous,
underpinning the vast majority of our social interactions; and that
its primary goal is to provide predictions and explanations of
other people's behaviour. It begins with an overview of key
positions and empirical literature in the debate. It then
introduces and motivates the pluralist turn in this literature,
which challenges the core assumptions of the traditional views. The
second part of the Element uses case studies to further motivate
the pluralist framework, and to advocate the pluralist approach as
the best way to progress our understanding of social cognitive
phenomena.
