Art and Adaptability
Art and Adaptability argues for a co-evolution of theory of mind and material/art culture. The book covers relevant areas from great ape intelligence, hominin evolution, Stone Age tools, Paleolithic culture and art forms, to neurobiology. We use material and art objects, whether painting or sculpture, to modify our own and other people’s thoughts so as to affect behavior. We don’t just make judgments about mental states; we create objects about which we make judgments in which mental states are inherent. Moreover, we make judgments about these objects to facilitate how we explore the minds and feelings of others. The argument is that it’s not so much art because of theory of mind but art as theory of mind.

Feminism
This volume opens with a thorough survey, celebratory but clear-eyed, of the feminist movement & its various branches, especially as it emerges from the controversies that have preoccupied it in the 1990s. It clarifies the conflict between radical/gender feminists, who deny any significant difference between men & women, & liberal/equity feminists, who see women as significantly different but of course (at least) equal. This conflict is reflected in the opposing views of female thinking as (a) identical with male thinking & (b) disorderly compared with male order; but both views are rejected by the Editor of this volume, who views order as more female than male, even if it has been hijacked/...
