Kinds of Minds: Toward an Understanding of Consciousness
In " Kinds of Minds ," philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel C. Dennett provides readers with a fascinating evolutionary perspective on how the human mind came to be. Tracing the development of consciousness from its earliest roots, when primitive animals first gained the ability to respond to their environment, he describes the crucial steps that eventually led to the emergence of self-awareness in humans. Along the way, he grapples with such thought-provoking questions as: What is a mind? What is sentience? Why are our minds different from the minds of animals? Do animals feel? Could a robot ever achieve consciousness?
