Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness

byPeter Godfrey-Smith

Focused on the Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness, Other Minds brings Peter Godfrey-Smith's science narrative to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of medical and science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
