View Rights PortalSind Tiere Lebewesen mit einem Geist? Denken sie? Haben sie Bewusstsein? Was unterscheidet den Menschen vom Tier? In der gegenwärtigen Philosophie des Geistes existiert eine Reihe von Ansätzen, die solche Fragen aufgreifen, sie aus unterschiedlichen methodischen Perspektiven erörtern und zu kontroversen Antworten gelangen. Der vorliegende Band macht wichtige Beiträge zu dieser Diskussion erstmals auf Deutsch zugänglich und enthält Beiträge u. a. von Donald Davidson, Daniel C. Dennett, Fred Dretske, Ruth G. Millikan, David Papineau und John R. Searle. Eine ausführliche Einleitung ordnet die Diskussion sowohl systematisch als auch historisch ein und unterstreicht ihren Stellenwert in den aktuellen Debatten innerhalb der Philosophie des Geistes.
