Heidi Maibom

Heidi Maibom is a philosopher known for her work on Theory of Mind, which is the ability to understand that others have thoughts, feelings, and perspectives different from our own. Maibom explores how our social interactions and relationships shape our understanding of others’ mental states. She argues that this understanding is not just a cognitive skill but is deeply connected to empathy and emotional engagement. Her insights suggest that recognizing others' emotions is essential for effective communication and social harmony, highlighting the interplay between cognitive processes and our emotional experiences in shaping interpersonal understanding.
