Do these two sentences have the same meaning?
When our own interests are threatened by the inconsiderate behavior of others, most of us find it easy to appreciate that those others have a reason to be more considérate. When you are hurt, you probably feel that other people should care about it: you don't think it's no concern of theirs, and that they have no reason to avoid hurting you. That is the feeling that the "How would you like it?" argument is supposed to arouse.
[Thomas Nagel, What does it all mean?]
Is the sentence "That is the feeling that the "How would you like it?" argument is supposed to arouse" have the same meaning as "This is the feeling that is supposed to arouse "How would you take it?" argument"?
Thank you!
