The book covers relevant areas from great ape intelligence, hominin evolution, Stone Age tools, Paleolithic culture and art forms, to neurobiology. We use material and art objects, whether painting or sculpture, to modify our own and other people’s thoughts so as to affect behavior. We don’t just make judgments about mental states; we create objects about which we make judgments in which mental states are inherent. Moreover, we make judgments about these objects to facilitate how we explore the minds and feelings of others. The argument is that it’s not so much art because of theory of mind but art as theory of mind.Consciousness, literature & the arts ;Volume 52.ConsciousnessArtsPsychological aspectsElectronic books.Consciousness.ArtsPsychological aspects.153Tague Gregory F.917963MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910480038203321Art and adaptability2058291UNINA
