Plant Minds - Chauncey Maher - Bog

- A Philosophical Defense

Bag om Plant Minds

By connecting the most compelling empirical work on plant behavior with philosophical reflection on the concept of minds, this book aims to help non-experts begin to think clearly about whether plants have minds. Relying on current consensus ideas about minds and plants, Chauncey Maher presents the best case for thinking that plants do not have minds. Along the way, however, he unearths an idea at the root of that case, the idea that having a mind requires the capacity to represent the world. In the last chapter, he defends a relatively new and insightful theory of mind that rejects that assumption, making room for the possibility that plants do have minds, primarily because they are alive.
