Sinopsis
Uncover the essential difference between the human and animal soul. This rigorous work argues that what passes for animal intelligence is often a misreading of instinct and experience, not true reasoning.
In clear, accessible prose, the book examines why many scholars and popularizers attribute intelligence to animals. It distinguishes instinct from sense-experience and shows how easy it is to mistake learned behavior for higher thought. Through careful analysis of experiments and natural observations, it challenges the idea that animals share the same kind of consciousness as humans.
- Defines what “intelligence” really means and why instinct can look like thinking.
- Dissects famous animal-ability claims, from ants to monkeys and even a famous horse, with careful reasoning.
- Explains how sense-perception, experience, and motivation shape animal actions.
- Offers a critical view of materialist theories that equate human and animal minds.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, psychology, and history of science who want a thoughtful, evidence-based look at the mind behind our closest animal companions and the limits of cross-species comparison.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of the human-animal relationship, challenging the common view that animals are merely lesser beings with similar minds to us. The author argues that there's a fundamental difference between humans and animals in the way that they think and experience the world. Using examples from animal behavior, the author supports the idea that animals lack the kind of consciousness and rationality that humans possess. This distinction is explained through the concepts of instinct, intelligence, and consciousness, and is not a matter of degree but rather of kind. By understanding this difference, the author argues, we can better appreciate the unique place that humans hold in the natural world and the ethical responsibilities that come with it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330174210_0
