Social Consciousness

How can science teach us that animals feel no pain when our common sense observations tell us otherwise? Bernard Rollin offers welcome insight into questions like this in his ground-breaking account of the difficult and controversial issues surrounding the use of animals. He demonstrates that the denial of animal consciousness and animal suffering is not an essential feature of a scientific approach, but rather a contingent, historical aberration that can and must be changed if science is to be both coherent and morally responsible.

In this book the philosopher Jonathan Westphal examines the mind-body problem in detail, laying out the reasoning behind the solutions that have been offered in the past and presenting his own proposal.

Queste domande, che ognuno di noi si pone più o meno consapevolmente ogni giorno, sono le stesse che animano la riflessione filosofica sul tema sin dall'antichità. Nell'audiolibro, alcune delle più significative risposte offerte a tali interrogativi, da Platone alle neuroscienze.

Perché ci sono così tanti bicorni e nessun unicorno, se un corno è più semplice di due? Heidegger raccomandava ai suoi uditori di accostarsi a quella immensa e candida supercazzola che è lo "Zarathustra" con la stessa dedizione e pensosità riservata ai trattati aristotelici, Ferraris avanza analoga richiesta per unicorni, bicorni, ornitorinchi, e per la supercazzola vera e propria, quella di Tognazzi in "Amici miei". Margini o briciole di filosofia, queste entità minori riservano più scoperte che Essere, Nulla e Divenire.

È, anche se pochi oggi se ne sono accorti, l'intuizione del limite a cui giunge la nostra capacità di accorgerci di ciò che sappiamo e di ciò che siamo. Da quel sistema psichico che chiamiamo "mente" e dai suoi principali strumenti, che sono le parole della nostra lingua, dipendono limiti artificiosi della nostra esistenza, vere e proprie prigioni in cui viviamo e alle quali ci adattiamo fin dall'infanzia.
