Theory of mind and Verstehen (understanding) methodology
Theory of mind is a prominent, but highly controversial, field in psychology, psychiatry, and philosophy of mind. Simulation theory, theory-theory and other views have been presented in recent decades, none of which are monolithic.

The relationship between simulation theory and Verstehen (understanding) methodology in trad…
