There aren’t, yet, many books about Sentientism (plenty of articles though!). There are, however, thousands of books about themes relevant to sentientism – epistemelogical and moral philosophy; religion, humanism, secularism, scepticism and atheism; consciousness and sentience; human, animal, even alien and robot ethics; artificial intelligence…

You’ll find links below for our GoodReads group where you can find lots of great reading material, as well as a couple of books that do bear more directly on Sentientism.

Please feel free to suggest others we should add here – or even write one yourself!
