  1. Mindreading beyond belief: A more comprehensive conception of how we understand others.Shannon Spaulding - 2018 - Philosophy Compass 13 (11):e12526.

This paper offers a theory identifying an underlying source of these evaluations in social practice. According to this theory, dualistic evaluations are rooted in two mechanisms by which we represent and evaluate the beliefs of others in folk psychology and theory of mind: the doxastic conception of mental disorders and doxastic voluntarism.
