RaveThe Financial TimesIn his entrancing and profound Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life, Godfrey-Smith takes us on a philosophical journey of a quite unique kind, for its backdrop is the sea. We accompany the author, an avid diver and admirable writer, as he explores the lives of the cephalopods and the origins of consciousness.
