While philosophers have been interested in animals since ancient
times, in the last few decades the subject of animal minds has
emerged as a major topic in philosophy. The Routledge Handbook of
Philosophy of Animal Minds is an outstanding reference source to
the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting subject and
is the first collection of its kind. Comprising nearly fifty
chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is
divided into eight parts: Mental representation Reasoning and
metacognition Consciousness Mindreading Communication Social
cognition and culture Association, simplicity, and modeling Ethics.
Within these sections, central issues, debates, and problems are
examined, including: whether and how animals represent and reason
about the world; how animal cognition differs from human cognition;
whether animals are conscious; whether animals represent their own
mental states or those of others; how animals communicate; the
extent to which animals have cultures; how to choose among
competing models and explanations of animal behavior; and whether
animals are moral agents and/or moral patients. The Routledge
Handbook of Philosophy of Animal Minds is essential reading for
students and researchers in philosophy of mind, philosophy of
psychology, ethics, and related disciplines such as ethology,
biology, psychology, linguistics, and anthropology.
