Books by Kristin Andrews
“Kristin Andrews is a philosopher of mind who specialises in animals. In this book, she talks about certain concepts that we have used to police the boundary between us and other animals. And she uses developments in the fields of animal behaviour and cognition and the philosophy of mind to show that these concepts should be opened up to other species. Her book is written like a philosophy textbook, as the subtitle indicates. So it’s a good resource for those who already have some basic knowledge about the philosophy of mind, but who haven’t thought very much about how the problems that galvanise this field shift when considered in relation to animals.” Read more...
