Abstract
Why do we think there are other self-conscious creatures about, other thinkers of ‘I’ thoughts, other possessors of a first-person perspective? What is the most basic manifestation of our grip on their existence? And what capacities play an essential role in giving us this idea?
These are all versions of questions I label the ‘Other I’s Questions’ (OIQ). The issues I will be discussing lie at the intersection of these questions and another set, which I label the ‘Communication Questions’ (CQ), examples of which include the following. What is the role, if any, of communication in grounding our idea of other minds? What difference would putting communication centre stage make to the way we formulate and address various versions of the so-called ‘other minds problem’?
