18. Thought / A. Modes of Thought / 4. Folk Psychology
Folk psychology covers input, internal role, and output [Jackson]
     Full Idea: Folk psychology has a tripartite nature, with input clauses, internal role clauses, and output clauses.
     From: Frank Jackson (From Metaphysics to Ethics [1998], Ch.5)
     A reaction: Interesting, particularly that folk psychology refers to internal roles, or attempts to explain what is going on inside the 'black box'. The folk have collectively worked out a standard flow diagram for human thought.
