Please register for the event via this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/how-to-understand-ourselves-and-other-beings-tickets-325855130467 SUMMARY Join award-winning science writer Philip Ball as he argues that, to understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to stop considering the human mind as a standard against which all others should be measured. In this talk, discover what we have learned from the minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, and what we can say about the potential minds of computers and alien intelligences. SPEAKER Philip's book 'Critical Mass' won the 2005 Aventis Prize for Science Books. He is also a presenter of Science Stories, the BBC Radio 4 series on the history of science. He trained as a chemist at the University of Oxford and as a physicist at the University of Bristol. He is the author of 'The Modern Myths' and lives in London. Philip's latest book The Book of Minds: How To Understand Ourselves and Other Beings is available to pre-order now. This is a theatre event, where the speaker and audience in our theatre are joined by an online audience. For Theatre attendees, the address is 21 Albemarle Street, London, W1S 4BS. TIMING Latecomers will be admitted to the gallery.
