The contributors to this volume examine current controversies about
the importance of common sense psychology for our understanding of
the human mind. Common sense provides a familiar and friendly
psychological scheme by which to talk about the mind. Its
categories (belief, desire, intention, consciousness, emotion, and
so on) tend to portray the mind as quite different from the rest of
nature, and thus irreducible to physical matters and its laws. In
this volume a variety of positions on common sense psychology from
critical to supportive, from exegetical to speculative, are
represented. Among the questions posed are: Is common sense
psychology an empirical theory, a body of analytic knowledge, a
practice, or a strategy? If it is a legitimate enterprise can it be
naturalized or not? If it is not legitimate can it be eliminated?
Is its fate tied to our understanding of consciousness? Should we
approach its concepts and generalizations from the standpoint of
conceptual analysis or from the philosophy of science?
