      abstract = {We are social animals, with evolved mechanisms to discern  the beliefs and desires of others. 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 which the role of  experience--that is, interaction with others--is central to  any consideration of action in the social world. Unlike  some philosophers of mind, Jay Schulkin considers social  reason to be a real feature of the information processing  system in the brain, in addition to a useful cognitive tool  in predicting behavior. Throughout the book, he  incorporates neurobiological evidence for a domain-specific  system for social cognition.Topics covered include the  centrality of intentional attribution to social cognition,  the rise of cognitive science in the twentieth century, the  functional argument for the role of experience, intentional  understanding in nonhuman primates, theory of mind and  natural kinds in children, autism as a disorder of theory  of mind, and the integration of emotions into theory of  mind.},
