McFarland looks not only at philosophy, but also examines new evidence from the science of animal behaviour plus the latest developments in robotics and artificial intelligence, to show how many different - and sometimes surprising - conclusions we can draw about the nature of 'alien minds'.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. When we engage with animals, we often project our thoughts and feelings onto their expressions and actions, leading us to assume they possess minds similar to ours. As technology advances, we may even start interpreting robot behavior in human terms. This raises philosophical and scientific questions about the validity of our inclination to humanize other beings. Can we truly understand non-human minds? How do human minds differ from those of animals or robots? David McFarland explores these compelling questions, shedding light on our understanding of the human mind and its limitations in comprehending other minds. He delves into philosophy, animal behavior science, and the latest in robotics and artificial intelligence, revealing surprising conclusions about minds "alien" to our own. Can robots experience guilt? Do dogs feel happiness? Addressing these inquiries extends beyond abstract thought, impacting critical issues like animal welfare, artificial intelligence, and cybernetics. Written in an engaging and accessible style, McFarland's work is thought-provoking and essential for anyone interested in animal behavior, robotics, artificial intelligence, or the essence of the human mind.
