 The argument from best explanation has been advocated as an advance on the argument from analogy. While Hyslop insists that any justification for my belief in other minds must make crucial reference to one’s own case, it has been argued that not needing to rely on such reference makes the argument from best explanation preferable as an account of how we justify our belief here (Pargetter 1984). Whether or not one pauses to assess the relative merits of these two ways of defending the rationality of our belief in other minds, what is undoubtedly the case is that the argument from best explanation is—either explicitly or implicitly—a form of argument that enjoys wide acceptance today. David Chalmers, for example, writes, “It …seems that this [argument from best explanation] is as good a solution to the problem of other minds as we are going to get” (1996: 246).
