I need help with my essay topic. The question is.

"The problem of other minds is a pseudo-problem. Discuss"

Dale also asked:

What happens when a person dies?

===========

This might be too late, but you could look at a book called The Philosophy of Mindby V.C. Chappel to
see why the problem gets a hold. Basically, it is problematic because our concept of knowledge
requires that we have evidence or warrant for belief, and this isn't possible when it comes to other
minds. We can't logically argue for the existence of other minds. You might then consider the work of
Wittgenstein (On Certainty) who suggests that logic and knowledge are not always the right model.
For sure, these are the wrong model for approaching the question of other minds. Rather it is that we
cannot doubt that others have a mind, and since we are certain that others do have a mind, the
question might be considered "pseudo". We do not know what happens when a person dies because
they are in not in a position to tell us. Some claim to have died and had experiences and then been
resuscitated, but it questionable whether they actually died if the concept of death means the end of
consciousness.
