Maybe we have a concept of gods because we are gods? It don't think that logic works. If someone is physicalist then they can't assume consciousness a priori. In which case, how can observation of brains and behaviours justify a concept like consciousness? The only way it can arise is out of a mind-body separation (Dualism).
Maybe we gave a concept of rocks, because there are rocks.
It isn't a question of all sentences of the form "we have a concept of X because X exists" being analytically true. It is a question of having evidence of specific things. The other minds problem is the other minds problem because we all have evidence of our own minds.
1 I am aware of my own consciousness
2 my own consciousness must be an outcome of the physical operation of my brain
3 similarly operating brains must be similarly conscious
See other post. Cheers for discussion.
