 Melnyk (1994) has argued that there is an important disanalogy between the scientific realist’s reason for believing in theoretical entities and an ordinary person’s reason for believing that other people have minds. His argument rests on the observation that gross behavioral evidence is insufficient for belief in another mind without additional reference to what one knows from one’s own case. Melnyk can be read as advocating a hybrid account of our knowledge here, incorporating elements from the argument from analogy as a supplement to the inference from best explanation. But he also makes the following, important, observation: “A complete response to the problem of other minds seems obliged to incorporate more than one approach, and may have to incorporate several” (1994: 487). This is an observation others have also begun to advocate (see  §3.2).
