Other Minds - The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life

Informationen zum Autor Peter Godfrey-Smith Klappentext The distinguished philosopher of science and scuba diver Peter Godfrey-Smith proposes a differing narrative of nature achieving self-awareness, with the octopus at its centre instead of the usual emphasis on the development of mammals. By unpacking how such a solitary creature attained such an unusual degree of intelligence, "Other Minds" casts new light on the workings of the minds of humans as well as cephalopods.
