In light of the recent flurry of articles on conciousness (of computers, toasters, Endomoeba histolitica...), some readers may be interested in a recent book: "Animal Thinking", by Donald Griffin. I've just started reading it, so I can't say much; but the author is an ethologist (=student of animal behavior), and his contention is that many animals *are* concious. -- Mike Maxwell Boeing Artificial Intelligence Center ...uw-beaver!uw-june!bcsaic!michaelm
