152 BOOK REVIEWS I have focused this review on several of the large questions that Allen and Bekoff’s book addresses. Space limitations prevent me from examining other very interesting issues the book discusses. Particularly provocative is Allen and Bekoff’s argument that Ruth Millikan’s (1984) theory of content provides a better frame- work for cognitive ethology than Dennett’s (1983) well-known hierarchy of inten- tional orders. There is also Allen and Bekoff’s suggestion that the ability to detect misinformation provides evidence of consciousness. In short, Species of Mind has intelligent and challenging things to say about many of the problems that a study of animal minds must confront. Those with an interest in animal minds will want to read this book.1 Notes 1For useful discussion, I am grateful to Eric Saidel, Elliott Sober, and Ann Wolf. References Allen, C., and Bekoff, M.
