According to folk psychology, human behaviour can be explained in terms of beliefs anddesires: Brutus desired to kill Caesar, and he believed that he could kill Caesar with a knife,so Brutus stabbed Caesar. Humans also commonly use the terminology of folk psychologywhen explaining a range of non-human action (see Dennett 1989). For example, subjects inHeider and Simmel’s (1944) experiments explain the movements of two-dimensional shapesin terms of the shapes’ beliefs and desires: the big triangle ’is shut up in the house and tries toget out’ (p. 247, my emphasis). According to Sterelny (2003) and Godfrey-Smith (2002b),these are two distinct phenomena. The first is that humans have beliefs and desires, and thesecond is that humans habitually interpret the behaviour of others in terms of beliefs anddesires.
