15. Nature of Minds / A. Nature of Mind / 4. Other Minds / c. Knowing other minds

3948	Experience tells me that other minds exist independently from my own [Berkeley]
	Full Idea: It is plain that other minds have an existence exterior to my mind, since I find them by experience to be independent of it.
	From: George Berkeley (Three Dialogues of Hylas and Philonous [1713], III p.220)
	A reaction: This is a surprising claim from Berkeley. If trees only exist through their experience in my mind, why don't other minds exist in the same way?
