‘Combining neurology, philosophy, computer science and artificial intelligence. . . a fascinating and illuminating account’ - The Guardian
Understanding the human mind and how it relates to the world of experience has challenged scientists and philosophers for centuries. How do we even begin to think about ‘minds’ that are not human? That is the question explored in this ground-breaking book. In The Book of Minds, Award-winning science writer Philip Ball argues that in order to understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to move on from considering the human mind as a standard against which all others should be measured.
Science has begun to have something to say about the properties of mind; the more we learn about the minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, to imagine the potential minds of computers and alien intelligences, the more we can begin to see our own, and the more we can understand the diversity of the human mind, in the widest of contexts. By understanding how minds differ, we can also best understand our own.

InformatiefDoordachtZet aan tot denkenPageturnerIt is a particularly worthwhile book to read and very relevant in this time, as artificial intelligence is taking off, challenging us to think about what a mind really is. Of course, this book does not provide a definitive answer to this question. It cannot, as the topic is much too complex. The author also does not pretend to be able to provide a definitive answer. However, it does offer useful concepts that help to think about this complex topic in a meaningful way, such as the concept of the Space of Possible Minds.I found the discussion of free will in this book to be particularly insightful and original. Discussions on this topic often fall into clichés that have been endlessly repeated. This is not the case in this book. It truly offers a new insight into this topic.
