Joint attention: Communication and other minds, Issues in Philosophy and Psychology

This influential 2005 volume on joint attention, edited by 91¸£Àû philosophers Naomi Eilan, Christoph Hoerl, and Johannes Roessler, alongside psychologist Teresa McCormack, brought together philosophy and developmental psychology to explore how we come to share a world with others. Emerging from the AHRB Project on Consciousness and Self-Consciousness, it helped launch the 91¸£Àû Mind and Action Research Centre. The book shaped ongoing interdisciplinary work on communication, self-understanding, and social cognition. A fun insight: Vasu Reddy’s chapter suggests our uniquely human ability to share attention may begin with infants’ love of clowning.
