  14. “Mind reading” seems a poor phrase to describe the fundamental nature of
    our intersubjective cognitive abilities. It suggests that we are mainly spectators of
    each other, that human social life is based primarily on a spectatorial or observational
    ability to “read” inner mental states on the basis of outward behavior (as we read the
    meaning of words on the basis of written marks). For criticism of this view, see Victo-
    ria McGeer, “Psycho-Practice, Psycho-Theory and the Contrastive Case of Autism,”
    Journal of Consciousness Studies8.5–7 (2001): 109–132, also in Evan Thompson,Be-

    lation, or Primary Interaction?”Journal of Consciousness Studies8.5–7 (2001): 83–108,
