John Dupré Gespräche mit Affen Reflexionen über die wissenschaftliche Erforschung der Sprache in D. Perler/M. Wild (Hg.) Der Geist der Tiere, Frankfurt 2005 Perler I 318 Animal/Thinking/Language/Descartes/Dupré: even those who defend the cognitive abilities of the animals the most often accept the Cartesian assumption that it is in principle impossible to prove the thinking or even the consciousness of animals because this would be conceptually dependent on behavior. --- I 319 DupréVsDavidson: if he were right, the question at stake would not only be whether or not one can teach monkeys to speak, but whether one can teach them to think. --- I 321 Language/Thinking/Dupré: there are many forms of non-verbal behavior that allow communication, and many non-verbal manifestations of thinking. |
