The Second Person Perspective: philosophical, developmental, and neuropsychological approaches

International conference

Conference Website here Program As part of the interdisciplinary research project "The brain - a social organ" the Berlin School of Mind and Brain hosts a three-day international conference on the foundations of social cognition. The following main questions will be addressed:

• How can we best describe what social cognition consists in?
• What is the Second Person Perspective? In what sense does it differ from the First and Third Person Perspective?
• How do the different perspectives develop in early childhood? In which way are they related to each other?
• What role does social interaction play for the development of perspective-taking?

Approaches from philosophy of mind, phenomenology, developmental psychology, clinical psychology, and the neurosciences will shed light on these and related questions. Keynote Speakers SHAUN GALLAGHER University of Central Florida
