the Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness
Jul 27, 2017
An absolutely fascinating exploration of consciousness . Starting with the observation of complex octopus behavior, the author, a philosopher of science, explores what consciousness means and how it could have evolved not only once but several times in evolutionary history. If you are looking for a book about octopus behavior and their interactions with humans, this book might not completely satisfy you but if you are willing to follow Godfrey-Smith on his journey into the ocean and back in time, you are in for a treat.
