Kinds of Minds: Toward an Understanding of Consciousness
Last updated October 31, 2026
In this short book Daniel Dennett asks what kinds of minds exist and how they came to be. He begins with simple organisms that respond to their surroundings and moves through animals to human beings. Tracing the evolutionary steps by which more sophisticated ways of thinking emerged, he examines how we can judge what other creatures experience, and explains what language and culture add to make the human mind distinctive.
