Books and Praise
“Walter Veit is a remarkably inventive and industrious philosopher who is working—with astonishing productivity—in the topic areas I have been exploring in recent years, and finding novel insights again and again.” – Daniel C. Dennett, bestselling author of Consciousness Explained and Darwin’s Dangerous Idea
“The a priori position that human consciousness differs from that in other animals has become hard to defend. In an eye-opening account, Walter Veit explains why. As a true philosopher, he delves into both te richness and ambiguity of the concept of consciousness.” – Frans de Waal, NYT bestselling author of Chimpanzee Politics and Mama’s Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves
“Walter Veit argues for a more thoroughly Darwinian approach to understanding how consciousness has come into existence, and in which beings it is to be found. By shifting the focus away from human consciousness, he helps us to understand the diversity of forms of consciousness that exist in other animals.” – Peter Singer, the “most influential living philosopher” and bestselling author of Animal Liberation and The Life You Can Save
