Un esprit chez les bêtes : ce que l’intelligence des animaux nous révèle
L'ouvrage examine, à partir d'observations et de débats historiques, si les bêtes possèdent véritablement de l’esprit ou s’expliquent par l’instinct. Il compare les points de vue de Descartes et de penseurs comme Réaumur et Huber, et propose une image nuancée des capacités des insectes, notamment les guêpes, les abeilles et les fourmis. Le livre s’intéresse à ce que les animaux savent voir, comparer et décider, sans céder à des explications purement mécaniques.
Dans cette étude, l’auteur montre que l’instinct ne suffit pas à tout expliquer et que les bêtes démontrent des formes d’intelligence liées à leurs besoins et à leurs expériences. Vous lirez des récits d’observations, de raisonnements et de modifications de leurs actions selon les circonstances, avec une attention particulière portée sur les insectes sociaux."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
