 Once one teases out a thin from a thick problem, one can ask the following: (i) does any proposed response to the thick problem help with the thin?; (ii) does having knowledge (in any domain) depend upon a solution to the thick problem?; and (iii) are there any further questions that can be raised with respect to other minds beyond those associated with these two sceptical problems? It is fair to say that little to no consideration was paid to question (i) in the past. It is the threat of solipsism that largely preoccupied philosophers—at least until more recently. (ii) has received much discussion in recent decades. Epistemologists who favor an externalist approach (e.g., Goldman, Nozick, Dretske) concentrate on the question of what others think and feel. In line with the general externalist approach, these philosophers hold that there can be knowledge despite there being no response to the radical sceptical challenge. Others agree that having knowledge does not require responding to this challenge, but not because they believe that there is no response here but because they believe that the correct account of knowledge leaves no room for such a challenge (McDowell 1982). With respect to (iii), Zahavi (2014) has identified a further question that he labels the why question. In our everyday encounters with, and understanding of, others we want to know not only what they think and feel, but also why they think and feel as they do and what this means to them.
