- VIDEO NOTES
Peter Godfrey-Smith is Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Sydney, and author of "Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness".
Prof. Godfrey-Smith’s work is particularly interested in cephalopods, but we speak about both consciousness and other animals more broadly, in a fascinating conversation about the nature of the nonhuman mind.
