- Searle says that "it seems to me a well-attested empirical fact
- that dogs are conscious." [The Rediscovery of the Mind, p.74.]
- I haven't read much about animal consciousness, and I would
- be interested to hear the opinions of various philosophers on
- the topic. Is it as uncontroversial as Searle implies?
