Ideology as cooperative affordance
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 32 (6):515-516 (2009)
Abstract
McKay & Dennett (M&D) observe that beliefs need not be true in order to evolve. We connect this insight with Schelling's work on cooperative commitment to suggest that some beliefs are best approached as social goals. We explain why a social-interactive perspective is important to explaining the dynamics of belief formation and revision among situated partnersOther Versions
