72The origins of folk psychologyInquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 30 (December): 357-79. 1987.Folk psychology is the psychology deployed by ordinary folk and by scientists in ordinary life. At its most basic level, it consists of deploying the concept of mind to explain and predict behavior. This article (i) considers how folk psychology may have begun, by considering an imaginary race of primitive folk deploying the rudimentary nucleus of the psychology, or a rudimentary concept of mind, and (ii) examines one argument for the evolutionary emergence and adaptivity of folk psychology.

129Fuzzy fault lines: Selves in multiple personality disorderPhilosophical Explorations 2 (3): 159-174. 1999.This paper outlines a multidimensional conception of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) that differs from the 'orthodox' conception in terms of the content of its commitment to the reality of the self.
