Abstract: Perception of Other Minds

In this talk I consider the suggestion – by Fred Dretske, John McDowell and Quassim Cassam – that I literally perceive other minds. While Dretske allows that I can see that another is, say, in pain, he denies that I can see that the other is not a zombie. Cassam follows Dretske in holding that I can see that another is in pain or angry, and he allows that I can see that the other is not a zombie. In this paper I consider why Cassam and Dretske come to different conclusions as to the extent of our knowledge here. I end by raising a question for Cassam’s position.
