shared intentionality, interaction, Michael TomazelloAbstract
The aim of this article is to present how Michael Tomasello explains the development of shared intentionality and its consequences in the organization of human life and in the development of objective thought in the light of the theory of evolution. In the first part of the article, the formation of shared intentionality will be addressed, both from the point of view of the individual and from the point of view of the species. Subsequently, we will note how this ability allows for the development of the ability for “mindreading” and the ability to metarepresention. These skills allow us to assign intentions to others and see the world from another individual's perspective. Finally, we will observe that the development of these skills enabled the development of objective thinking, expanded the complexity of existing human capacities (such as language) and enabled new and high forms of sociability and organization, with the development of culture and morals.
