 Scheler suggests that philosophical theory tries to turn us away from the obvious by insisting that “there is certainly no sensation of another person’s mind nor any stimulus from such a source”, and he insists that to think like this is to turn one’s back on the “expressive unity” of behavior (1913 [1954: 181]). He writes: “We can…have insight into others, in so far as we treat their bodies as a field of expression for their experiences” (1913 [1954: 10]). Whether we take knowledge here to come about either inference (as in the argument from analogy) or though perception turns, according to Scheler, on the question of how one views the relationship between mind and behavior.
