Single Idea 21228
[filed under theme 15. Nature of Minds / A. Nature of Mind / 4. Other Minds / c. Knowing other minds
]
Full Idea
For Husserl monads have windows because they communicate with each other. The windows of the monads are the acts of empathy.
Gist of Idea
Husserl's monads (egos) communicate, through acts of empathy.
Source
report of Edmund Husserl (Cartesian Meditations [1931]) by Victor Velarde-Mayol - On Husserl 4.7.5
Book Ref
Velarde-Mayol,Victor: 'On Husserl' [Wadsworth 2000], p.79
A Reaction
Leibniz said his monads (which include minds) have 'no windows'. The mere existence of empathy (or mirror neurons, as we would say) is hardly sufficient to defeat solipsism.
