Minding Minds: Evolving a Reflexive Mind by Interpreting Others

By Radu J. Bogdan

Book Overview

Mental reflexivity, or metamentation - a mind thinking about its own thoughts - underpins reflexive consciousness, deliberation, self-evaluation, moral judgement, the ability to think ahead, and much more. Yet relatively little in philosophy or psychology has been written about what metamentation actually is, or about why and how it came about.
