Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the notion that animals are unfeeling and unintelligent beings. Countering the prevailing Cartesian belief of the day, the author offers an accessible and thought-provoking exploration of animal minds and their remarkable capabilities. Drawing from extensive research and observations by the author and others, the book debunks the idea of instinct as an unchanging and unlearned force. Instead, it presents a compelling argument for the evolution of animal intelligence, with examples ranging from the tool-using abilities of crows to the problem-solving skills of dogs. Beyond mere anecdotes, the author delves into the philosophical implications of animal intelligence, examining the nature of consciousness and the boundaries between human and animal minds. This book not only expands our understanding of the animal kingdom but also challenges our assumptions about the uniqueness of human intelligence. Its insights have had a profound impact on our understanding of animal behavior and continue to shape the ongoing debate on the nature of consciousness.
