  1. Some prerequisites for a study of the evolution of cognition in the animal kingdom.Jacques Gervet, Alain Gallo, Raphael Chalmeau & Muriel Soleilhavoup - 1996 - Acta Biotheoretica 44 (1):37-57.
    A distinction is made between two definitions of animal cognition: the one most frequently employed in cognitive sciences considers cognition as extracting and processing information; a more phenomenologically inspired model considers it as attributing to a form of the outside world a significance, linked to the state of the animal. The respective fields of validity of these two models are discussed along with the limitations they entail, and the questions they pose to evolutionary biologists are emphasized. This is followed by (...)

  • The Logic of Tacit Inference.Michael Polanyi - 1966 - Philosophy 41 (155):1 - 18.
    I propose to bring fresh evidence here for my theory of knowledge and expand it in new directions. We shall arrive most swiftly at the centre of the theory, by going back to the point from which I started about twenty years ago. Upon examining the grounds on which science is pursued, I saw that its progress is determined at every stage by indefinable powers of thought. No rules can account for the way a good idea is found for starting (...)

  • Über den Menschen, der kein Tier sein will, und den Menschen auf Verwandtensuche.Hartmut Böhme - 2020 - Paragrana: Internationale Zeitschrift für Historische Anthropologie 29 (1):97-113.
    Wir leben in einem Zeitalter der Angst, im Phobozän, wie Jens Soentgen sagt, der die global grassierende Angst der Tiere vor den Menschen zu erfassen sucht. Von daher wird die Traditionslinie der europäischen Philosophie untersucht, die das Verhältnis von Mensch und Tier bestimmt, indem sie es zugleich zerstört. Charakteristisch ist dabei die Heraushebung des Menschen aus der Gemeinsamkeit mit den Lebewesen; der Mensch hat eine Sonder- und Höherstellung im Kreis des Seienden inne. Das ist sein Speziesismus, der sich schon in (...)

  • Plessner's philosophical anthropology.Fred R. Dallmayr - 1974 - Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 17 (1-4):49 – 77.
    Philosophical anthropology is a broad-gauged study of man drawing on the findings of empirical sciences and the humanities. The paper is intended as a tribute to one of the pioneers in this field. The first part outlines central features of Plessner's conception, focusing on man's instinctual deficiency and his 'eccentric position' in the world; man from this perspective is an 'embodied' creature in the dual sense of experiencing the world through his bodily organs and of 'having' a body and being (...)
