دانلود کتاب اجتماعی شدن ذهن ها – بین الاذهانی در فلسفه مدرن اولیه

According to proverbial wisdom, it takes two to tango. The point is that you cannot perform this dance alone. If you tried it just by yourself, it would not be a tango. Thus we could say that the tango is inherently social or intersubjective in that it requires more than an individual person. Some phenomena are easily recognized as social: certain dances, acts, forms of work, and rituals require interaction to come into being or count as valid. But what about mental states, such as thoughts, volitions, or emotions? Do our minds also depend on other minds? The idea that our minds are intersubjective or social seems to be a fairly recent one, developed against the individualism of early modern philosophers. I beg to differ. As I hope to show in this book, early modern philosophers often even started from the idea that minds are intersubjective.
