Aristotelian rationality of animals : phantasia as a commonality of human and animal cognitive processesWorkman-Davies, Bradley Wayne 03 1900 (has links)
This dissertation investigates Aristotle’s theory of phantasia as a cognitive
ability, in terms of which mental content is available to the mind of rational
beings. The focus is on Catherine Osborne’s extension of phantasia to nonhuman
animals in order to allow for and explain non-human animal
behaviour in terms of a rational paradigm, which de-emphasises, and does
not rely on, linguistic ability. This paradigm for understanding animal
behaviour as rational supports, and is supported by, modern theories of
cognitive ethology, and argues for the ability of animals to share in
conceptual thought. The recognition of rationality in animals by means of
this paradigm bears ethical consequences for the treatment of animals. / Classics and Modern European Languages / M.A. (Classical Studies)
