Can You Ever Really Get Inside Someone Else’s Head?
New post on my blog, “Making Meaning: Constructing Understandings in a Confusing World.”
We often speak of “getting inside someone else’s head.” When we talk this way, we usually mean that we wish to understand things as others do so that we can grasp what otherwise might seem like utterly incomprehensible behavior. If we could get inside the heads of our boss, our significant other, or that bloviating political candidate on TV then we just might be able to know what they are up to and why.
