 Philosophical discussions on the nature of social understanding, including empathy, theory of mind, norms, and culture, have been influenced in the past couple of decades by the accumulating evidence on the socio-cognitive capacities of animals. The chimpanzee theory of mind controversy, which we outlined in  section 2,  is a perfect illustration of this, since it gave rise to numerous articles and books that dealt with this topic from a philosophical perspective. Many of the early papers focused on what has been termed the “logical problem,” which is the problem that the experimental results can be interpreted by postulating that chimpanzees are mindreaders or that they are mere behavior-readers. Philosophers have offered various solutions to this problem, ranging from experimental proposals that are meant to disentangle these two explanations of the data (Lurz 2011) to attempts to dissolve it by arguing that it is just a skeptical problem that will not help us advance in our study of animal cognition (Halina 2015).
