Understanding the human mind and how it relates to the world of
experience has challenged scientists and philosophers for
centuries. How do we even begin to think about 'minds' that are not
human? That is the question explored in this ground-breaking book.
Award-winning science writer Philip Ball argues that in order to
understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to
move on from considering the human mind as a standard against which
all others should be measured. Science has begun to have something
to say about the properties of mind; the more we learn about the
minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, to imagine
the potential minds of computers and alien intelligences, the more
we can begin to see our own, and the more we can understand the
diversity of the human mind, in the widest of contexts. By
understanding how minds differ, we can also best understand our
own.
