Reviews

'Andrews weaves an impressive thread through topics in the philosophy of mind, science, and psychology … The argumentative scope is impressive given the size of the book. Andrews also masterfully combines depth with accessibility in ways that make this an excellent text for either advanced undergraduates or graduate students.' Metascience


.. . Andrews explores the philosophy of animal cognition fairly thoroughly and clearly, including ideas, claims, and counterclaims. ... The Animal Mind is not for skimming; it should be read slowly, a section at a time, digested, and read again. However, the knowledge gained is worth the time invested. ... Summing Up: Recommended. - CHOICE Andrews is terrifically knowledgeable about both the philosophy and science of animal minds and is not above coaxing the rest of us into this notoriously difficult subject with the judicious use of anecdotes and stories. This is the best introduction to the subject currently available. - Dale Jamieson, New York University, USA An outstanding, highly readable, and carefully argued introduction to a variety of increasingly important topics in philosophy. I can think of no better way to get philosophers and cognitive scientists up to speed on the issues, and I look forward to teaching this book in my own courses on animal minds. - Bryce Huebner, Georgetown University, USA This thoughtful and well-informed book is a very useful guide to the philosophical and empirical literatures on animal minds. It is accessibly written and well-pitched for students. - Jose Luis Bermudez, Texas A&M University, USA The Animal Mind is an ideal text for introductory classes in the growing field of the philosophy of cognitive ethology. It is also an excellent work of philosophy - one that challenges received wisdom and speculates about future lines of research. As interest in animals grows among philosophers and psychologists, this book provides stimulating reading for students and scholars alike. - Edward Minar, University of Arkansas, USA
