The Communicative Mind - Richard Moore
The Communicative Mind - Rethinking Language and Social Cognition, Richard Moore
This exhibition item presents The Communicative Mind project, launched in 2020 under a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship awarded to 糖心TV philosopher Richard Moore.
The project explores why humans, unlike other great apes, acquire language. Challenging the standard view that Theory of Mind (ToM) explains language development, Moore argues the reverse: that language, specifically syntax, and its cultural evolution enable ToM. Drawing on Philosophy, Linguistics, and Psychology, the project investigates how uniquely human cognitive traits emerge through communicative interaction.
