{"product_id":"theory-of-mind-and-literature-paula-leverage-9781557535702","title":"Theory of Mind and Literature","description":"Theory of Mind is what enables us to \"put ourselves in another's shoes.\" It is mindreading, empathy, creative imagination of another's perspective: in short, it is simultaneously a highly sophisticated ability and a very basic necessity for human communication. Theory of Mind is central to such commercial endeavors as market research and product development, but it is also just as important in maintaining human relations over a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, it is a critical tool in reading and understanding literature, which abounds with characters, situations, and \"other people's shoes.\" Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly apparent that reading literature also hones these critical mindreading skills. \u003ci\u003eTheory of Mind and Literature\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of nineteen essays by prominent scholars (linguists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers) working in the cutting-edge field of cognitive literary studies, which explores how we use Theory of Mind in reading and understanding literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Leverage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557535701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557535702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purdue University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 224","brand":"Paula Leverage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939619111167,"sku":"9781557535702","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_28840ad4-f2a3-4542-b576-26445aa998b3.jpg?v=1681442548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theory-of-mind-and-literature-paula-leverage-9781557535702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
