Animal Minds provides a comprehensive philosophical examination of animal consciousness and cognitive capacities. Marta Halina addresses fundamental questions about what animals think, feel, and experience, moving beyond simplistic comparisons to human cognition.
The book critically evaluates evidence from ethology, neuroscience, and comparative psychology to develop a nuanced understanding of diverse animal minds. Halina explores methodological challenges in studying animal consciousness and presents frameworks for assessing mental states across species.
Part of Cambridge University Press’s Elements in Philosophy of Mind series, this work bridges philosophy, cognitive science, and biology. It provides scholars, students, and curious readers with essential tools for thinking about animal mentality and the ethical implications of recognizing animal consciousness.
