Human and Animal Minds: The Consciousness Questions Laid to Rest

Human and Animal Minds

The Consciousness Questions Laid to Rest

2019 • 233 pages

Claims about consciousness in animals are often made in support of their moral standing.

Sympathy for an animal can be grounded in its mental states, but should not rely on assumptions about its consciousness.
