SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The study of animal cognition raises profound questions about the minds of animals and philosophy of mind itself. In recent experiments, dogs have been shown to respond appropriately to over 200 words in human language. In this introduction to the philosophy of animal minds Kristin Andrews introduces and assesses the essential topics, problems, and debates as they cut across animal cognition and philosophy of mind.
