Deep Intellect: Inside the mind of the octopus
A pretty cool read about a writer and his experiences with a particular octopus— a read that is as illuminating about the creature herself as it is heart-warming in the end.
A brief excerpt: (one of the more scientific/theoretical sentences in the text)
“Octopuses,” writes philosopher Godfrey-Smith, “are a separate experiment in the evolution of the mind.” And that, he feels, is what makes the study of the octopus mind so philosophically interesting.
