'This is a fascinating and important collection. It brings together leading thinkers in philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology to explain and synthesize work on the crucial insight that the human mind is inherently social. It serves both as a comprehensive introduction and overview of the field, as well as an up-to-date presentation of cutting-edge research. It will be invaluable to students and professionals alike.' - Brian Epstein, Tufts University, USA 'An unparalleled collection, providing both breadth and depth in the exploration of the exciting and emerging field of social cognition. The Handbook serves as an overview of the current intellectual landscape, but also presents new insights that will become the cornerstone for future development of the field. It will be the standard-bearer for issues in social cognition for years to come.' - Ellen Fridland, King's College, London, UK 'This is an exceptionally rich and wide-ranging volume that is sure to be an essential resource for anyone working in the philosophy and science of sociality. The breadth of coverage is terrific, and the contributors all make good on the promise that the social mind in its various dimensions is best studied through an interdisciplinary approach, bringing philosophy into into conversation with psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, economics, and evolutionary biology. This is empirically-informed philosophy - and philosophically-informed science - at its best.' - John Schwenkler, Florida State University, USA
