Understanding Animals
How do animals perceive the world? In Understanding Animals, Lars Svendsen investigates how humans can attempt to understand the lives of other animals. What does it really feel like to be a cat or a dog?
Svendsen provides examples from many different animal species--from chimpanzees to octopus--but his main focus is on cats and dogs: the animals that many of us are closest to in our daily lives.Drawing upon both philosophical analysis and the latest scientific discoveries, Svendsen argues that the knowledge we glean from our relationships with our pets is as valid and insightful as any scientific study of human-animal relations. The book delves into animal communication, intelligence, self-awareness, loneliness, and grief, but most fundamentally how humans and animals can cohabit and build a form of friendship. With this entertaining and thought-provoking book,
