{"product_id":"9781441151407","title":"David Hume and the Problem of Other Minds","description":"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? \u003cbr\u003eThis book shows, through a detailed examination of David Hume's \u003cem\u003eA Treatise of Human Nature\u003c\/em\u003e, 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. \u003cbr\u003eThe book thus not only provides the first large-scale treatment of the function of the belief in other minds within the \u003cem\u003eTreatise,\u003c\/em\u003e 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.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156917403888,"sku":"9781441151407","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441151407_p0.jpg?v=1763802236","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441151407","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
