| Description | Until recently, the relation between theory of mind and morality has been understood as asymmetrical – the direction is from theory of mind to morality. People have the ability to understand mental states of other agents and to ascribe to them various concepts (e.g., intentionality). This ability plays role in the process of moral judgment – ascribing a concept of intentional action would affect what moral judgment we will end up with. In my talk I'd like to show, that in the light of empirical data gathered by experimental philosophers this one-directional approach to the relation between theory of mind and morality seems untenable. |
