15. Nature of Minds / A. Nature of Mind / 4. Other Minds / d. Other minds by analogy

15495	Analogy works, as when we eat food which others seem to be relishing [Martin,CB]
	Full Idea: The long-derided way of analogy works! Otherwise why, when someone else is relishing a food we have not tried, is it reasonable for us to try it ourselves?
	From: C.B. Martin (The Mind in Nature [2008], 12.2)
	A reaction: Why wouldn't we rush to eat something an animal was relishing? Nice idea.
