Exploring the complexities of animal intelligence, this book delves into the sextet of comparative cognition research, beginning with human rationality as a historical framework. It critiques existing categorizations often rooted in human-centric views and emphasizes the importance of understanding animal behavior through species-specific lenses. The discussion highlights the theoretical and practical significance of recognizing animal consciousness, language, and rationality, questioning human superiority and its implications for our treatment of animals in society.
