The Second Person. Reply to Commentators
Main Article Content
Abstract
We address the critical comments on the central ideas of the book Social Cognition and the Second Person in Human Interaction. First, we clarify some aspects of the proposal: the relationship between second-person interactions and bodily expressions of attributed psychological states, and the role that they have in the acquisition of the most basic psychological concepts. Next, we specify the sense in which second-person attributions are practical and transparent. Finally, we highlight the ubiquitous role of normativity in second-person interactions, emphasizing the asymmetries that occur in these interactions, and we show why we hold that there are no interactions devoid of normativity to which normativity is later added.
