On Perceiving that Someone is Angry

Where: MindGrad 2008, Warwick Dates: 6th December 2008 - 7th December 2008

We know lots of things about each others’ mental states. There is a question about how we know such things. Historically, the answer was usually that we somehow infer what mental states others are in. The claim tended to be that we do this either by analogy, or as an inference to the best explanation of their behaviour.

An alternative claim is that we can know what mental states others are in by perceiving that they are in those mental states. Cassam, for example, defends the idea that ‘it’s possible to know that others think and feel by perceiving that others think and feel, and that it’s sometimes possible to know what others think and feel on the same basis’. Dretske claims that ‘the way I have of knowing that my wife is angry is the same way I have of knowing that her jaw is set and her eyes have that characteristic glint’. I can see that her jaw is set, see when her eyes have that characteristic glint. In the same way, Dretske argues, I can sometimes see that my wife is angry.

In this paper I first sketch Dretske and Cassam’s claims. I argue that in order to be interesting, the notion that we saw that another was angry would have to be both a determinate and distinctive answer to the question of how we knew that he was angry. I sketch reasons to think that neither’s view fulfills both criteria.

Finally, I put forward a way of understanding the claim that we sometimes perceive that others are in particular mental states which makes that claim distinctive. I will not defend this view. But I aim to allay some initial doubts about whether we could possibly perceive in this way.
