The aim of this lecture is to present the various problems related to our knowledge of other minds. Tim Bayne distinguishes four versions of ‘the problem of other minds’: the psychological problem of other minds; the sceptical problem of other minds; the scientific problem of other minds; and the conceptual problem of other minds.
