Theory of Mind

Zusammenfassung

Der Begriff »Theory of Mind« (ToM ) ist mehrdeutig und muss vorab erklärt werden , um gleich klar zu machen, worum es in diesem Buch geht und worum nicht. Fodor (1978) sowie Premack und Woodruff (1978) benutzten den Terminus für eine spezielle geistige Leistung, nämlich die Fähigkeit bzw. den Versuch eines Individuums, sich in andere hineinzuversetzen, um deren Wahrnehmungen, Gedanken und Absichten zu verstehen. Die folgenden Beiträge befassen sich also nicht mit allgemeinen philosophischen Theorien über die Natur, Eigenschaften und Funktionen des menschlichen Geistes (philosophy of mind), mit dem Leib-Seele-Problem oder deren modernen Lösungsversuchen im Kontext von Neurobiologie und Neurophilosophie. Die letztgenannten Disziplinen tauchen aber durchaus auf, soweit sie zum Verständnis jener speziellen ToM beitragen.
