Transcript:Today's keyword is the problem of other minds and solipsism, we'll discuss what it is, and who proposed it and is there any argument against it. So let’s start with our first PAA: What is the problem of other minds in philosophy? Google’s auto-generated answer is linked to an entry titled “Problem of other minds” published on Encyclopaedia Britannica, which is s a general knowledge English-language encyclopedia. According to this entry, the problem of other minds is the problem of justifying the commonsense assumption that others besides oneself have minds and are capable of thinking or feeling similarly to oneself. You might think “Why do I need to justify my belief that other people have consciousness and mind? Isn’t it just like.... obvious? “ I won’t be so sure, when you think about it clearly, all you can observe are actually just other people’s “behavior”, you are actually not able to observe other people’s subjective experiences which we call consciousness or mind. Since you cannot observe it, how do you know it exists? So here’s our next PAA: What are some solutions for problems of other minds? Ok, so this PAA is actually one of Google’s bloopers because Google’s auto-generated question was actually “Who created the problem of other minds?” while Google’s auto-extracted answer was about “who proposed a solution for The problem of Other Minds”. Let me remind you Google’s PAA is auto-generated so sometimes this happens. Anyway, this article “THE PROBLEM OF OTHER MINDS” is published by Philosophy Talk, which is a website affiliated with the same-named talk radio program. The program deals both with fundamental problems of philosophy and with the works of famous philosophers, especially the ones that related to our day-to-day lives. One solution to The Problem of Other Minds was proposed by John Stuart Mill, a 19th-century empiricist argues that because one's body and outward behavior are observably similar to others' bodies and behavior, one is justified by analogy in believing that others have feelings similar to one's own. So it’s like “You are a human-like me, you behave similarly to me, and you speak in a similar manner to me. I have a mind; isn't it reasonable to assume you do as well?” But here’s the problem, this conclusion is actually based on a very small sample, only 1, aka you. Luckily, there is another solution called “Inference to the Best Explanation”. According to Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Inference to the best explanation is the procedure of choosing the hypothesis or theory that best explains the available data.
