On Seeing that Others have thoughts and feelings

The idea that we can perceive the minds of others is one that has an interesting history: at one time it was dismissed out of hand, while today it is considered a serious alternative to the inferential model (the idea that we know the minds of others by analogy, induction or best explanation). In this paper I explore this idea, as it is found in the work of Fred Dretske and Quassim Cassam. I explain how we can use this model to separate out a knowledge that and a knowledge what question. I then argue that, while the knowledge what question is a good one, the knowledge that is not.
