RE: [xmca] intersubjectivity, deception, perhaps also theory of mind

What a great subject! Theory of mind is so little understood. It is a
nice title to a phenomena that lies somewhere betwixt the 6th sense and
wormholes. How do you explain the nature of autism? Temple Grandin is a
start. A novel by the title of "The curious incident of the dog in the
night time" is another step towards understaniding. I can come up with
other resources if interested.

Mike, I recommend "Collaborative congnition" by Bearison & Dorval (2002) -
they analyzed rules negotiation during game format to access
intersubjectivity. Seems closely related to your interest and definitely
not above the horizon.

Hi Paul et al--

Seems like Minati and I have taken on a task that may be well over our
heads. And not only our heads. We asked Mike tomasello the same questions
about the relationship
between intersubjectivity, deception, and (implicitly) theory of mind we
asked you. Everyone comes back with answers that point over the horizon
(Martin-- by coincidence, my
first experiment in grad school was also on prisoners' dilemma-- lets hear
it for serendipity!!!). But Sartre, Searle, and other philosophers, and
even
GO masters, only leave me
in confusion. Seems time to sound the retreat to more accessible issues. !!
mike
(ps. Minati with her deeper knowledge of Indian culture and philosophy may
have other ideas!)
