Abstract
The article is an application of Whitehead's system to recent findings concerning nonhuman experience, particularly primate experience. I discuss research concerning nonhuman aesthetic and moral experience, nonverbal thinking, language, consciousness and self-consciousness, and deception. I also provide a Whiteheadian account of self-consciousness and a fourfold typology of self-consciousness as agent, public, introspective and pure. The article demonstrates that in some respects animal consciousness is closer to human consciousness than Whitehead believed. [Abstract from The Philosopher's Index]
