ONTOLOŠKE I EPISTEMOLOŠKE PRETPOSTAVKE TEORIJA RAZUMEVANJA DRUGIH
ONTOLOGICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL ASSUMPTIONS OF THEORIES OF UNDERSTANDING OTHERS

Summary/Abstract: In the last few decades, an intensive debate concerning how we understand others has been conducted and, relating to this, different solutions were proposed. All these solutions are aimed at providing a complete explanation of the cases in which we typically hold that we do understand others or at least aim to explain why sometimes we make mistakes when we try to do that. In this paper, ontological and epistemological assumptions of the theory-theory and the simulation theory are assessed in order to clarify the whole debate. Special attention is paid to the notion of understanding embedded in both theories.
