Abstract
- The article argues against the idea of most philosophers that human and animal minds are radically different from another either architecturally or that humans possess a second mind non-human animals lack. It notes that the differences between humans and other animals are qualitative involving a distinctive kind of functional organization that qualifies as a mind that is not possessed by other animals. It argues that animal minds are real and are the only minds that humans possess.
