Abstract

While philosophers from vastly different orientations have sought to comprehend the problems inherent to postulating the reality, content, and significance of “other minds,” from John Stuart Mill (1806–1873) and A. J. Ayer (1910–1989) to John Wisdom (1904–1993), countless other substantive perturbations of thought have clued in to the many mysteries in nearly every domain of metaphysics, neurophysiology, psychology, philosophy, and natural history. Their multidisciplinary enigmas remain among the most daunting and alluring challenges in the history of science and human cultures—the thought processes and world views of other species.
