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

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. !!

(ps. Minati with her deeper knowledge of Indian culture and philosophy may
have other ideas!)
