What is the conclusion of the following argument? How does one know that there exist in the world other minds—that is, others having feelings and other subjective experiences? One can observe that one’s own experiences are connected to publicly observable phenomena, that other people exhibit publicly observable phenomena, and therefore other people also must have subjective experiences. For example, one may observe that when one stubs a toe, one feels pain and cries “ouch.” Then if other people—who are physically similar to oneself—also stub their toes and cry “ouch,” one can conclude that they also experience pain.
