The problem of other minds has widely been considered as a special
problem within the debate about scepticism. If one cannot be sure
that there is a world existing independent ly of one's mind, how
can we be sure that there are minds - minds which we cannot even
experience the way we experience material objects? This book shows,
through a detailed examination of David Hume's A Treatise of Human
Nature, that these concerns are unfounded. By focusing on Hume's
discussion of sympathy - the ability to connect with the mental
contents of other persons - Anik Waldow demonstrates that belief in
other minds can be justified by the same means as belief in
material objects. The book thus not only provides the first
large-scale treatment of the function of the belief in other minds
within the Treatise, thereby adding a new dimension to Hume's
realism, but also serves as an invaluable guide to the complexity
of the problem of other minds and its various responses in
contemporary debate.
