| Research Abstract |
The traditional European philosophy has been concentrating on the first-person description of the mind, while the science of the mind has tried to explicate the mind and the brain from the third-person perspective. It seems difficult to bridge the methodological gap between them. This research is based on the phenomenological idea that criticizes the classical assumption, according to which the psyche is accessible only to myself and cannot be seen from outside. Phenomenology argues that the other's mind manifests itself in bodily behavior and facial expressions. This research shows the possibility that the description of the other's mental states from outside contributes to the science of the mind based on that phenomenological idea.
