In doing so, he addresses issues in vision science, cognitive…

Roots of social sensibility and neural function

This social reason is linked to the concept of intentionality, the ability to attribute beliefs and desires to others. In this book Jay Schulkin explores social reason from philosophical, psychological, and cognitive neuroscientific perspectives. He argues for a pragmatist approach, in…
