Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of the hypothesis that animals are essentially machines devoid of consciousness, known as "animal automatism." The author traces the development of this idea from its origins in the 17th century, exploring the contributions of pioneering thinkers like Renà Descartes and Thomas Henry Huxley. The book examines the physiological and philosophical arguments for and against animal automatism, drawing on a wealth of scientific research and contemporary examples to illustrate the complexities of the debate. By exploring the nature of consciousness, sensation, and movement in animals, this book sheds light on the profound question of whether animals possess an inner life similar to our own. Ultimately, the author's insights illuminate our understanding of the relationship between the mind and the body, challenging our assumptions about the nature of animal existence.
