Abstract:
In every domain of reasoning humans deploy a wide range of intuitive 'theories' about how the world works. So are we alone in trying to make sense of the world by postulating theoretical entities to explain how the world works, or do we share this ability with other species? This is the focus of Povinelli's book.
