Todd Jones

What People Believe When They Say That People Believe

Folk Sociology and the Nature of Group Intentions

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

People are often unclear about what is meant by sentences such as 'Catholics don't believe in birth control.' In this book, Todd Jones explores what people are talking about when they ascribe beliefs or actions to entire groups rather than individuals. This discussion should help settle some basis questions for philosophers, social scientists, and casual conversationists.
