Description
The octopus, the sea, and the deep origins of consciousness. In this thought-provoking book, philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith explores the evolution of intelligence in the natural world. The cephalopods, including the octopus, have long been regarded as one of the most intelligent invertebrates on the planet. But how did they develop such advanced cognitive abilities? Godfrey-Smith delves into the story of how subjective experience crept into being, tracing the development of the mind from its earliest beginnings in the ocean.
