by Daniel M. Wegner, Kurt Gray
The Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why It Matters - Thryft
The Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why It Matters - Thryft

Perception shapes our understanding of other minds.

"The Mind Club" is a thought-provoking journey into the psychology of how we perceive and attribute minds to others, including animals, corporations, and artificial intelligence. Exploring the boundaries of empathy and ethical treatment, this book reveals the fascinating ways in which our perceptions govern who and what we care about. It’s a compelling read for anyone intrigued by the intricacies of the mind and our social connections.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

From dogs to gods, dive into the science of mysterious minds—including your own. Daniel M. Wegner and Kurt Gray are award-winning psychologists who have discovered that minds—while incredibly important—are a matter of perception. Their research opens a trove of new findings, with insights into human behavior that are fascinating, frightening, and funny. The Mind Club explains why we love some animals and eat others, why people debate the existence of God so intensely, how good people can be so cruel, and why robots make such poor lovers. By investigating the mind perception of extraordinary targets—animals, machines, comatose people, god—Wegner and Gray explain what it means to have a mind, and why it matters so much. Fusing cutting-edge research and personal anecdotes, The Mind Club explores the moral dimensions of mind perception with wit and compassion, revealing the surprisingly simple basis for what compels us to love and hate, to harm and to protect.
