![]() ![]() ![]() As these primitive organisms became more entangled with others, they grew more complicated. Tracking the mind’s fitful development, Godfrey-Smith shows how unruly clumps of seaborne cells began living together and became capable of sensing, acting, and signaling. As Godfrey-Smith stresses, it is a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. ![]() ![]() In Other Minds, Peter Godfrey-Smith, a distinguished philosopher of science and a skilled scuba diver, tells a bold new story of how subjective experience crept into being-how nature became aware of itself. How is it that a creature with such gifts evolved through an evolutionary lineage so radically distant from our own? What does it mean that evolution built minds not once but at least twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien. In captivity, octopuses have been known to identify individual human keepers, raid neighboring tanks for food, turn off lightbulbs by spouting jets of water, plug drains, and make daring escapes. Although mammals and birds are widely regarded as the smartest creatures on earth, it has lately become clear that a very distant branch of the tree of life has also sprouted higher intelligence: the cephalopods, consisting of the squid, the cuttlefish, and above all the octopus. ![]() ![]() ![]() You could definitely say that Medea's passionate vengefulness is a character flaw. It's certainly a mistake in judgment to murder four people, including your own children, just because you got dumped. Medea definitely seems to have a hamartia. It's like Euripides sets his audience up for the expected downfall, then whisks the carpet out from under their feet right at the end. None of these things happen to Medea, however. Usually they die, or mutilate themselves, or are at least driven insane with guilt. The hamartia is most often called a tragic flaw, but the word is more accurately translated as a "mistake in judgment." A hero or heroine's hamartia typically causes their undoing. The most significant of these is that Medea's hamartia doesn't cause her undoing. ![]() Of course, Euripides was a famous rule breaker and genre bender, so Medea has some big differences from most other Greek tragedies. We say the play is a drama because, well, you know…it's a play, a piece of literature that can only be fully appreciated when presented before a live audience. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She said that if women were to be responsible for cleaning up their communities and making them better places to live, they needed to be able to vote to do so effectively.

She helped America address and focus on issues that were of concern to mothers, such as the needs of children, local public health, and world peace. In an era when presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson identified themselves as reformers and social activists, Addams was one of the most prominent reformers of the Progressive Era. She co-founded, with Ellen Gates Starr, an early settlement house in the United States, Chicago's Hull House that would later become known as one of the most famous settlement houses in America. ![]() Jane Addams (SeptemMay 21, 1935), known as the "mother" of social work, was a pioneer American settlement activist/reformer, social worker, public philosopher, sociologist, public administrator, protestor, author, and leader in women's suffrage and world peace.

It's like the characters are driven more by whim than anything else. We know that "the reconciler" wants to "reconcile the dominions" but we have no idea why. His characters are clearly defined except for the most important attribute: Motivation. Many times, it was like he felt the need to shock the reader with as far-out something-or-another as he could think of, but it really served no purpose to the overall story. He uses generic terms like "majestic" but doesn't actually give a good description. It's the same with EVERY place he describes. This is fine for a few descriptions, but, eventually, my mind got tired and filled in with "something weird" showed up. ![]() For instance, strange creatures are given a cursory description, but then we are left on our own to fill in the rest. Things are described, but not in as much detail as you actually feel like you're there.

Lucie Whitehouse's debut novel is the most recent of this genre. Ever since Brideshead Revisited, novels about "framily" (friends who replace family) formed at an elite university have abounded both here and in the US, with Donna Tartt's The Secret History as a kind of apogee.
