The idea that humans are by nature social and political animals can
be traced back to Aristotle. More recently, it has also generated
great interest and controversy in related disciplines such as
anthropology, biology, psychology, neuroscience and even economics.
What is it about humans that enabled them to construct a social
reality of unrivalled complexity? Is there something distinctive
about the human mind that explains how social lives are organised
around conventions, norms, and institutions? The Routledge Handbook
of Philosophy of the Social Mind is an outstanding reference source
to the key topics and debates in this exciting subject and is the
first collection of its kind. An international team of contributors
present perspectives from diverse areas of research in philosophy,
drawing on comparative and developmental psychology, evolutionary
anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, and behavioural economics.
The thirty-two original chapters are divided into five parts: The
evolution of the social mind: including the social intelligence
hypothesis, co- evolution of culture and cognition, ethnic
cognition, and cooperation; Developmental and comparative
perspectives: including primate and infant understanding of mind,
shared intentionality, and moral cognition; Mechanisms of the moral
mind: including norm compliance, social emotion, and implicit
attitudes; Naturalistic approaches to shared and collective
intentionality: including joint action, team reasoning and group
thinking, and social kinds; Social forms of selfhood and
mindedness: including moral identity, empathy and shared emotion,
normativity and intentionality. Essential reading for students and
researchers in philosophy of mind and psychology, The Routledge
Handbook of Philosophy of the Social Mind is also suitable for
those in related disciplines such as social psychology, cognitive
neuroscience, economics and sociology.
