This account provides a valuable framework for future work on mindreading and has broad implications for philosophical debates that have surrounded the issue for the last quarter centuryin the latter half of the 20th century mindreading became the object of sustained scientific and theoretical research, capturing the attention of a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, developmental psychology, behavioral ecology, anthropology, and cognitive psychopathologyin some cases, we use our own mental mechanisms to simulate the mental processes of another, as suggested by the 'simulation theory' of mindreadingwhat we find, then, is an intricate web of mental components to explain our fascinating and multifarious knack of understanding mindsas a result, the authors begin with an explicit and systematic account of pretence and imagination which proposes that pretence representations are contained in a separate mental workspace, the 'possible world box', which is part of the basic architecture of the human mindnone of these mechanisms, though, explain how we read our own minds, which, according to the authors, requires invoking an entirely independent set of mechanismsnichols and stich develop and defend a new account of the psychological mechanisms underlying mindreadingsee oxfam website for delivery information read morein addition, the authors argue, reading other minds involves important processes that don't fit into either categorythe mechanisms underlying pretence get recruited when people attempt to understand others and predict their behaviourwhat has been missing is a detailed and integrated account of the mental components that underlie this remarkable capacityin reading other minds, the imagination plays a central rolethey maintain that it is, as common sense would suggest, vital to distinguish between reading others' minds and reading one's ownhowever, mindreading also implicates very different kinds of mechanisms that rely on rich bodies of information, as suggested by information-based accounts of mindreadingoxfam bookshop glossop road slight shelf wear to cover, otherwise very good condition the everyday capacity to understand the mind, fancifully dubbed 'mindreading', plays an enormous role in our lives
