in relation to the problem of other minds I don't think the path of universal
consciousness - is the way to go
we must begin not with consciousness - but rather with the unity - the person -
as Strawson puts it
the person recognizes other persons
they are - whatever their attributes (i.e. consciousness) out there -
and as such primarily surface entities relative to my consciousness
I recognize persons are more than this
on the basis of what?
my understanding of myself
and my understanding of myself as a member of a class of existents -
a recognition of similarity
so the knowing is deeper than observation
I know myself as having an internal dimension
others of my kind - if they are of my kind - are so attributed
it's a logical argument
the recognition of logical type
this is the directness
the directness of consciousness to consciousness - logical
logical directness
yes
