concept-key: https://vernacular.cloud/0.0.1/Xk52T6uIRHjbAleQuhqb3mae/

Definition

The third-personal attribution of mentality to others. A naturalized take on Daniel Dennett's "intentional stance" and "heterophenomenology".

Nagel's bat story shows the limit of heterosubjectivity, not its impossibility. We can heterosubjectively imagine ourselves in the bat’s perspective, but the boundary of subjectivity blocks completion. (The ego gap) Similarly, explaining the neural correlates of consciousness is an intersubjective endeavour that relies on heterosubjectivity, and is likewise blocked by the ego gap.

Behaviourism is the denial of heterosubjectivity.
