Mental Mirrors: Metacognition in Social Knowledge and Communication

Mental Mirrors: Metacognition in Social Knowledge and Communication

Alan Lewis
0/5 ( ratings)
In Mental Mirrors, the metaphor of the mind as a mirror is used to investigate the relationship between internal thoughts and beliefs and the outside world. The authors claim that social knowledge is reflexive in two ways: the mind is a mirror that sees its own contents; and the mind reflects its own image as represented by other minds. The examination of metacognitions - which involve ′beliefs about beliefs′ - is central to their investigation. This stimulating and provocative book will add considerably to the literature of psychology, linguistics and philosophy.
