why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?

The argument to other minds is an inductive argument, based upon the premise that similar effects have similar causes.  It's hardly brain surgery, benny.

That's right.  That's why when I wake up in the morning, I act as though everyone is real-- it makes my social interactions so much more meaningful.

That being said, an argument by similarity is only as valid as the similarity itself.  Seems-so-is is the fundamental issue here, so declaring "seems-so-is because inductive argument" doesn't really address that underlying philosophical problem.
