The book explores the evolving understanding of intelligence across various species, from bacteria to mountain gorillas, challenging human-centric views of consciousness. James Fetzer, a prominent science philosopher, critiques outdated mechanistic models and presents a new theory of intelligence rooted in evolutionary principles. He argues that machines can exhibit intelligence without possessing minds, offering a fresh perspective on the nature of consciousness and rationality in both biological and artificial entities.
