The captured thought: Understanding other minds and other times

York Biology Lectures

Perspective-taking acknowledges that there are multiple versions of the realities we experience both within ourselves and others, past, present and future.  In this presentation we argue that seeing determines our ability to navigate the realities we encounter.  We also consider how close other animals come to doing this.

Other lectures in this series include:

• Thinking without a brain: The self-organisation of plant form
• Molecules, mating and mayhem in the sexual interactions of fruit flies
