Description
The Intentional Stance by Daniel C. Dennett explores how we understand and anticipate each other in everyday life through concepts like belief, desire, intention, and expectation. Dennett argues that we adopt a predictive strategy of interpretation, assuming the rationality of others, to make sense of their actions. This book presents a comprehensive theory of intentionality, developed over nearly twenty years, and brings together both previously published and original material. The author's philosophical stance has evolved, and this collection offers fresh insights into fundamental issues in psychology, artificial intelligence, and evolutionary theory. The Intentional Stance is a thought-provoking work that sheds new light on traditional questions in the philosophy of mind. With its unique blend of philosophical analysis and scientific inquiry, it will appeal to readers interested in cognitive science and psychology.
