Excerpt from The Object of Animal Existence
So far as we know animals are conscious automata. - huxley.
As the result of scientific investigation, the conclusion has been reached that the animal organism is a machine, the operation of which is in accordance with the specific nature of its materials and the mechanical arrangements of its parts. We may therefore postulate, that the general laws which are applicable to the analogous correlated elements of inanimate machines, are also applicable to the corre sponding correlated elements of the animal organism.

Excerpt from The Object of Animal Existence
From certain analogies that exist between the functional characteristics of inanimate machines of human origin, and similar characteristics pertaining to the animal mechanism, we may be able to determine what may be properly considered, as constituting the special object of animal existence. And such knowledge may be considered as a legitimate object for scientific attainment, if we can conclusively show that the animal organism is a fabricating machine, and that the fabric produced thereby is in some degree included within our capabilities of sense-perception. To this important end, the arguments adduced in these pages are thought to be worthy of consideration.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the hypothesis that animals, including humans, are machines, and posits that the consciousness of these organisms is a product of the interaction between stable and unstable mechanical elements that form their governing mechanisms. Drawing on scientific research and philosophical analysis, the author argues that the primary function of animal life is to fabricate sense-symbols from the environment, which are then used to create a subjective reality. The book explores the implications of this hypothesis for our understanding of animal intelligence, the nature of consciousness, and the possibility of a future existence beyond the physical body. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
