Abstract

Reiners⁶¹ spoke of the "different worlds" of primitive and civilized men. Husserl said that although the phrase might have a good sense it is dangerous. Strictly speaking, it is absurd to speak of two or more actual worlds. The conditions for even the phenomenal being of other minds are sufficient to guarantee that all minds have an identical world with an identical formal-ontological structure.
