[SydPhil] MMII Public Lecture: Peter Godfrey-Smith

[Hoda Mostafavi]

Dear all,

Please join us for the next Macquarie Minds and Intelligences Initiative public lecture.

When: Tuesday, 19th of August, at 4pm.
Where: Level 1 Lecture Theatre - Australian Hearing Hub<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/HCS9CZY1NqiQg8x8rFzfKsB-R0w?domain=hearinghub.edu.au> - Macquarie University.

We are delighted to have Prof. Peter Godfrey-Smith from the University of Sydney present the following:

Animal Consciousness: Evidence, Models, and Clues
The talk will look at evidence for felt experience (consciousness in a minimal sense) in a number of invertebrate animals. I'll do this by going through a sequence of experiments (some well-known, some newer) on hermit crabs, octopuses, cuttlefish, bees, and fruit flies. I will emphasize interactions between different kinds of evidence, and the role of some fortuitous observations. A preprint by Hakwan Lau criticizing the whole enterprise will be discussed at the end.
