However, more and more philosophers have become sceptical about the thesis, since, for example, more refined notions of natural kinds have been developed, or the notion of biological individual has been investigated more adequately in recent times. Anyway, many of them still see something true in
, growing interest in social cognition has led researchers to investigate new questions related to attribution of thoughts to others. Social cognition refers to the mental operations that underlie social interactions, including perceiving, interpreting and generating responses to intentions, disposition and
those cases that are investigated in order to understand socio-cognitive development. Bratman’s shared intention, so he argues, is overly sophisticated, as these cases do not involve structuring bargaining and coordinating planning. In a second step, Butterfill presents potential states that could

If the job could be done as well by consulting intuitions about imaginary examples, why bother with all this expensive equipment and labor-intensive experiments? Evidently, unless philosophers are either

The EU launched the robotics promotion program “SPARC” with a volume of over €700mio in 2014. The “National Robotics Initiative” in the US will

Hence, it seems worthwhile to consider this proposal and investigate its philosophical underpinnings. The most

that exists is fundamentally describable and explainable in the categories of the natural sciences. It is, however, a “stagnating and degenerative research program”; for this reason, it is appropriate to investigate the metaphysical rivals in earnest once again, namely dualism and idealism. This book
explorative sample that provides first hints of what could be the focus of analysis when empirically investigating multimedia text reception. For we just vaguely begin to understand the complex nature of multisensory perception and text comprehension, the multi-faceted cognitive and emotional processes, that
