title: Simulation and self-knowledge: a defence of theory-theory
creator: Carruthers, Peter
subject: Developmental Psychology
subject: Philosophy of Mind
description: In this chapter I attempt to curb the pretensions of simulationism. I argue that it is, at best, an epistemological doctrine of limited scope. It may explain how we go about attributing beliefs and desires to others, and perhaps to ourselves, in some cases. But simulation cannot provide the fundamental basis of our conception of, or knowledge of, minded agency.
