But it acknowledges that some crucial evidence needed to establish this claim hasn't been looked for or collected. What we require is evidence that a belief in the self-transparency of mind is universal to the human species. The paper closes with a call to anthropologists (and perhaps also developmental psychologists), who are in a position to collect such evidence, encouraging them to do so.", pages = "28-53(26)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/imp/jcs/2008/00000015/00000004/art00002" }
