Abstract The rise of social neuroscience has brought the second-person perspective back into the focus of philosophy. Although this is not a new topic, it is certainly less well understood than the first-person and third-person perspectives, and it is even unclear whether it can be reduced to one of these perspectives. The present paper argues that no such reduction is possible because the second-person perspective provides a unique kind of access to certain facts, namely other persons' mental states, particularly, but not only, in social contexts. The paper starts with the idea that perspectives are ways of epistemic access that determine an epistemic subject's recognition of a certain object. While the first-person perspective is subjective because it is based on, and directed at, the epistemic subject's experiences, the third-person perspective, which is based on objective evidence and gives access to all kinds of entities, is objective. The second-person perspective, by contrast, is intersubjective because it is a relation between an epistemic subject and another sentient being's mental states. It involves the epistemic subject's replication of those states, a basic self/other distinction and a basic awareness of the relevant situational differences between the epistemic subject and the other being. This is why the second-person perspective is a perspective on a perspective, which involves a basic awareness of perspectivalness, even if second-person perspective taking may be subpersonal to a large extent.

Successful human social interaction depends on our capacity to understand other people's mental states and to anticipate how they will react to our actions. Despite its importance to the human condition, the exact mechanisms underlying our ability to understand another's actions, feelings, and thoughts are still a matter of conjecture. Here, we consider this problem from philosophical, psychological, and neuroscientific perspectives. In a critical review, we demonstrate that attempts to draw parallels across these complementary disciplines is premature: The second-person perspective does not map directly to Interaction or Simulation theories, online social cognition, or shared neural network accounts underlying action observation or empathy. Nor does the third-person perspective map onto Theory-Theory (TT), offline social cognition, or the neural networks that support Theory of Mind (ToM). Moreover, we argue that important qualities of social interaction emerge through the reciprocal interplay of two independent agents whose unpredictable behavior requires that models of their partner's internal state be continually updated. This analysis draws attention to the need for paradigms in social neuroscience that allow two individuals to interact in a spontaneous and natural manner and to adapt their behavior and cognitions in a response contingent fashion due to the inherent unpredictability in another person's behavior. Even if such paradigms were implemented, it is possible that the specific neural correlates supporting such reciprocal interaction would not reflect computation unique to social interaction but rather the use of basic cognitive and emotional processes combined in a unique manner. Finally, we argue that given the crucial role of social interaction in human evolution, ontogeny, and every-day social life, a more theoretically and methodologically nuanced approach to the study of real social interaction will nevertheless help the field of social cognition to evolve.

Many philosophers have argued that the subjective character of conscious experience results in a fundamental deficit of third-person (henceforth: extrospective) access to first-person experience. By comparing extrospective measurement techniques with measurement techniques in the natural sciences, we will argue that extrospective methods suffer from no such deficit. After a rejection of some principled objections against extrospective methods, a historical comparison with the development of measurement techniques in the natural sciences will show that extrospective measuring methods are still in an early stage of development. However, they can be significantly improved by way of a bootstrapping strategy, similar to that which has proven successful in the development of physical measurement techniques. One reason to expect such improvement is the availability of multiple sources of evidence, which should allow for substantial advances in extrospective measurement techniques. Finally, we will discuss new developments in pain measurement in order to show that the bootstrapping strategy is already bearing fruit.

But what, precisely, does it mean to have privileged first-person access? Two facets of such access come to mind. First, it appears that our first-person experience of mental that is, the it is like to be in those states, differs from our third-person experience of those very states. This is what will be called here the experiential privilege. Having an experiential privilege with respect to my pain experience just means that I experience my pain in a way that no one else can, although other persons have, of course, the same privilege with respect to their own mental states. Given that nothing in the present paper depends on this privilege, this will be taken for granted without arguing for it. Second, it seems that having first-person privileged access implies an epistemic privilege. Compared to anyone else, I seem to be in a privileged position as far as knowledgeclaims with respect to my own mental states are concerned. This may seem trivial, given that, currently, we have only imperfect knowledge of other people's minds. Provided that this shortcoming may be due to the contingent imperfection of today's science, tomorrow's science might provide us with the relevant insights. That is why an epistemic privilege in the sense indicated above requires more than these two privileges. It requires a fundamental difference between the firstand the thirdperson perspective. This means that there have to be facts about mental states that can be

An analysis of our commonsense concept of freedom yields two "minimal criteria": (1) Autonomy distinguishes freedom from compulsion; (2) Authorship distinguishes freedom from chance.Translating freedom into "self-determination" can account for both criteria.Self-determination is understood as determination by "personal-preferences" which are constitutive for a person.Freedom and determinism are therefore compatible; the crucial question is not whether an action is determined at all but, rather, whether it is determined by personal preferences.This account can do justice to the most important intuitions concerning freedom, including the ability to do otherwise.Waiving determination, by contrast, would violate the minimal criteria rather than providing "more" freedom.It is concluded that self-determination provides everything that we can ask for if we ask for freedom.

Die Vertreter der in den letzten Jahrzehnten dominierenden funktionalistischen Strömungen in der Philosophie des Geistes nehmen eine recht eindeutige Position zu Fragen der mentalen Repräsentation ein. Aus ihrer Sicht ist das Gehirn ein besserer digitaler Computer, die mentalen Repräsentationen sind vordefinierte Symbole, und das Denken besteht in der Manipulation dieser Symbole. Am konsequentesten kommt dies wohl bei Fodor zum Ausdruck: Er beschreibt diese Symbole als die Elemente einer angeborenen ‘language of thought’. Piktoriale Formen mentaler Repräsentationen haben in diesem Ansatz nur eine untergeordnete Bedeutung; Fodor selbst behandelt sie im wesentlichen als Epiphänomene. Weiter noch gehen Autoren wie Dennett und Pylyshyn, die hier nur einen Sonderfall der symbolischen Repräsentation sehen. Was wir als mentale Bilder zu sehen glauben, ist in Wirklichkeit eine bloße Beschreibung: „It is not just imagining, however, that is like description in this way; all ‘mental imagery’, including seeing and hallucinating, is descriptional.“ (Dennett 1980, 130)

Abstract According to a long-standing belief, introspection provides privileged access to the mind, while objective methods, which we denote as “extrospection”, suffer from basic epistemic deficits. Here we will argue that neither an introspective privilege exists nor does extrospection suffer from such deficits. We will focus on two entailments of an introspective privilege: first, such a privilege would require that introspective evidence prevails in cases of conflict with extrospective information. However, we will show that this is not the case: extrospective claims can prevail in cases of conflict. These conflicts are resolved by an inference to the explanation that best accounts for the available evidence. This explanation may speak in favor of extrospection. Second, given an introspective privilege, the development of extrospective measurement techniques should be restricted by the accuracy of introspective reports. We will argue that this problem is part of a more general issue that comes up with the establishment of measurement in the natural sciences. We will identify three strategies that have proven successful in dealing with the problem in the natural sciences. It will turn out that all these strategies are available for extrospective measurement as well. Consequently, the insufficiencies of introspective reports do not impose a limit on the accuracy of extrospective measurement methods. We conclude that neither an introspective privilege nor basic extrospective deficits exist. This does not mean that extrospection will ever replace introspection. Rather, both approaches provide independent and indispensable forms of epistemic access to the mind.

One of the reasons why the Neural Correlates of Consciousness Program could appear attractive in the 1990s was that it seemed to disentangle theoretical and empirical problems. Theoretical disagreements could thus be sidestepped in order to focus on empirical research regarding the neural substrate of consciousness. One of the further consequences of this dissociation of empirical and theoretical questions was that fundamental questions regarding the Mind Body Problem or the “Hard Problem of Consciousness” could remain unresolved even if the search for the neural correlates had been successful.Drawing on historical examples, a widely held consensus in the philosophy of science, and actual NCC research we argue that there is no such independence. Moreover, as the dependence between the theoretical and the empirical level is mutual, empirical progress will go hand in hand with theoretical development. Thus, contrary to what the original NCC program suggested, we conclude that NCC research may significantly take advantage from and contribute to theoretical progress in our explanation and understanding of consciousness. Eventually, this might even contribute to a solution of the Hard Problem of Consciousness.
