| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aimed to illuminate social understanding that generates between person and person on the basis of embodied interactions. In the current discussions of psychological sciences, it is generally considered that one understands the other’s mental states through inference by applying the “theory of mind.” However, according to the research result, the most fundamental aspect of social understanding is to directly perceive the intention of another’s action, and to react in response to it. This kind of embodied interaction between the self and the other generates implicit social contexts, based on which we come to understand each other explicitly through verbal communications. In this regard, it is between my body and that of the other where intersubjectivity originates in.
