AB - This essay resolves the problem of other minds through the perspicuous understanding of ‘understanding,’ on the basis of which it goes on to resolve the problem of other cultures. First of all, the problem of other minds derives from taking the self-understanding as the prototype of other types of understanding based on the Cartesian dualism. Wittgenstein’s grammatical investigation illuminates that the mystified use of language generates the problem of other minds, and stresses that in order to understand the meaning of others’ actions we do not need to look into the minds of others but to observe the intersubjective rules and the contexts that surround others’ actions. The problem of other cultures as well does not occur because we cannot have a direct access to the minds of people we try to understand. The understanding of other cultures is a difficult task but it is not the logical impossibility. The difficulty originates from the fact that “we cannot find our feet with them.” But if we can learn their forms of life we can understand their cultural rules considerably(the importance of teaching link). The problem of other cultures is not the kind of problem that should be presumed before attempting to understand.
