Human Minds
Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 53:159-183 (2003)
Abstract
Humans are part of the animal kingdom, but their minds differ from those of other animals. They are capable of many things that lie beyond the intellectual powers ofthe rest of the animal realm. In this paper, I want to ask what makes human minds distinctive. What accounts for the special powers that set humans aside from other animals?Author's Profile
