ABSTRACT
The author gives some critical comments on a view of the 'mind-body problem' which finds much favour among philosophers today. The view on which the author wish to comment is that put forward by Mr P. F. Strawson in his much discussed book Individuals, and, to limit the scope of the discussion. The author confines himself mainly to what Strawson has to say in Chapter III of his book under the heading of 'Persons'. The author have chosen Strawson, not only because of his standing in philosophy today and his undoubted gifts, but also because he is widely esteemed as a philosopher with much broader sympathies than many of his contemporaries. In the chapter entitled 'Persons' in his book Individuals, Strawson opens his discussion with the observation that the group of questions he proposes to discuss might be denoted 'the issue of solipsism'. The author notes the supplementary arguments used by Strawson in the same context.
