Luke Roelofs

Combining Minds

How to Think about Composite Subjectivity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how groups of interacting minds relate to singular minds. Roelofs argue that we are too used to seeing the mind as an indivisible unity, and that properly understanding our place in nature requires more willingness to see minds as composite systems, both one and many.
