Synopsis
Can machines think? Do animals have beliefs? These questions and many others are answered in this new collection of Daniel C. Dennett's essays from 1984 to 1996. He deals variously with philosophy of mind, Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life, ethology (the science of social relationships) and animal psychology, concluding with a personal overview of his thoughts on the future. Brilliant and often funny, Brainchildren is the mind-blowing sequel to Brainstorms.
