David Pears (psychologist)

David Pears is a philosopher (not a psychologist) known for his work on the philosophy of mind, language, and action. He has extensively studied how we think about ourselves and others, and how our language shapes our understanding of reality. Pears has contributed to debates on whether mental states are reducible to physical processes and how perception and consciousness function. His work helps clarify fundamental questions about human cognition, encouraging careful, precise analysis of how our minds work and how we communicate.
