Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book questions whether animals possess the same kind of thinking mind that we do. The author takes up this question by analyzing the nature of the mind as a substance whose essence is the capacity to think. Through this analysis, the author not only demonstrates that animals do not possess this kind of mind, but also provides an explanation for their intelligent behavior--namely, that it is a product of the arrangement of the parts of their bodies, rather than a thinking soul. The author shows that Descartes' famous "I think, therefore I am" argument cannot be applied to animals, because their actions do no indicate that they think in the same way that we do. The author does not merely rest on this argument but instead presents a comprehensive refutation of the idea that animals have souls, examining each of the typical arguments offered in favor of this idea and providing an alternative explanation for the behavior of animals. 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. Seller Inventory # 9780243316052_0
