Does the way we think about our minds matter? Our judgements about
what counts as thought are so intimate that we may not even realize
that we make them. But we do - and the way we make them has
consequences for our sense of the real. The Mind and Spirit project
(presented in this volume) finds that the way people think about
thinking, shapes the way they experience (what they take to be)
gods and spirits Authors are a team of anthropologists and
psychologists who worked together for two years across sites in the
United States, Ghana, Thailand, China, and Vanuatu Argues that
there are cultural differences in the way social worlds represent
'the mind' - we call these local theories of mind - and that these
differences affect whether and how people, for instance, hear the
voices of the dead or feel the presence of God Discusses how the
ways people think about thought and interiority can alter human
sensory experience itself
