Introducing the Collins Modern Classics, a series featuring some of
the most significant books of recent times, books that shed light
on the human experience - classics which will endure for
generations to come. What if intelligent life on earth not only
evolved on land, but also in the sea? Other Minds is a bold new
story of how nature became aware of itself - a story that largely
occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. Tracking the
mind's fitful development over millennia, Other Minds explores the
incredible evolutionary journey of the cephalopods. What kind of
intelligence do they possess? And how did the octopus, a solitary
creature with little social life, become so smart? Heralded as the
'scuba-diving philosopher' when Other Minds first published, Peter
Godfrey-Smith explores the underwater world and the concept of
sentience to trace the question of inner life back to its roots. By
comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives,
Other Minds casts crucial new light on the octopus mind - and on
our own.
