author of The Lost Self and The Face in the Mirror. His
books are available on
www.Amazon.com
A quote from a book review: "... Keenan
... contends that mirror recognition is a key to understanding
consciousness. Once animals are able to recognize themselves, they can
begin to view their world in a different way." "If self-awareness is
intimately tied to understanding one's own thoughts," he writes, "then,
we might assume, self-awareness may give rise to the ability to reflect
on the thoughts of others."
