DESCRIPTION:Professor Tim Crane will give his inaugural lecture as Knightb
 ridge Professor of Philosophy. \nDescartes famously argued that animals we
 re mere machines\, without thought or consciousness. Few would now share t
 his view. But if other animals have conscious lives\, what are they like\,
  how do they differ from ours\, and how would we ever know anything about 
 them? This lecture will address this question by looking at the kinds of t
 houghts we might share with animals\, and looking at philosophical and emp
 irical arguments for how our thoughts might differ from theirs. \nEveryone
  welcome.\n
