They Think Like Us: Scientific and Philosophical Evidence of Animal Consciousness

Do animals think, feel, grieve, love, and experience consciousness? Can plants possess awareness?In They Think Like Us: Scientific and Philosophical Evidence of Animal Consciousness, author and philosopher HRH Prince Gharios El Chemor explores the rapidly growing scientific evidence suggesting that consciousness is not limited to humans.Drawing on the landmark Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness (2012) and the New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness (2024), this compelling book examines groundbreaking research in: - Animal consciousness- Animal cognition and intelligence- Neuroscience of consciousness- Elephant grief and empathy- Dolphin self-awareness- Bird intelligence and culture- Octopus cognition- Fish sentience and pain perception- Insect consciousness- Plant communication and learning- Bioelectricity and biological intelligence- Consciousness studies- Philosophy of mind- Ethics and animal welfareBlending rigorous science with philosophical inquiry, They Think Like Us introduces the Continuity of Consciousness Principle, arguing that consciousness may be a spectrum extending throughout life rather than a uniquely human trait.Perfect for readers of Frans de Waal, Peter Godfrey-Smith, Jane Goodall, Jonathan Birch, Rupert Sheldrake, and Peter Wohlleben, this thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider humanity's place within the living world.If animals think, feel, remember, love, and suffer, what responsibilities follow?The answer may change the way you see every living thing.
