- Summary:
- The Social Roots of Delusions argues that human sociality is essential for understanding what delusions are and how they form. Humans are cooperative and cultural animals, radically dependent on others for survival and for the knowledge we use to navigate our world. That world includes complex systems of norms, reputation, gossip, surveillance, and partner choice, along with high-stakes competition for prestige and power among individuals and shifting coalitions. Against this background, Williams, Wilkinson, and Miyazono offer a social account of delusions
