Produktinformationen zu „Animal Life and Intelligence (ePub)“
Animal Life and Intelligence is an interesting volume that is almost equally divided between the two topics, as suggested by its title. In the earlier chapters, there are outstanding accounts of the essence of animal life and its connection to the environment; of the cycles of life; of reproduction and development; of variation and natural selection; of heredity and the origin of variations; and of organic evolution. The chapters thereafter deal with the senses and sense organs of animals; the nature of cognitive functions in man, serving as a ground for our judgment as to the nature and amount of animal intelligence; the mental operations of animals are afterward thoroughly and carefully discussed in three very suggestive chapters, and the final and very metaphysical chapter is on mental development. Conwy Lloyd Morgan (1852 - 1936) was a British ethologist and psychologist. He is remembered for his theory of emergent evolution and for the experimental approach to animal psychology, now known as Morgan's Canon, a principle that played a major role in behaviorism. In this work, he has discussed interesting subjects with a fullness of knowledge and judicial impartiality worthy of all praise.
Autoren-Porträt von C. Lloyd Morgan
Conwy Lloyd Morgan (1852-1936) was a prominent British psychologist and ethologist, often regarded as one of the founding figures in the field of comparative psychology. His seminal work 'Animal Life and Intelligence', published in 1890, established him as a distinguished thinker in the emerging discourse on animal behavior and cognition. In this landmark book, Lloyd Morgan put forth observations and theories on the intellectual capacities of animals, endeavoring to elucidate the nature and evolution of animal intelligence. His methodological contributions, particularly 'Morgan's Canon', a principle advocating for the simplest explanation of animal behavior, profoundly influenced subsequent scientific inquiry in ethology and psychology. His approach advocated a cautious interpretation of animal behavior to avoid anthropomorphic explanations, thereby laying an empirical groundwork for the objective study of animal psychology. Through his academic career, Lloyd Morgan's erudite exploration and rigorous analysis have left an indelible mark on the way we understand animal cognition, and his works continue to be referenced in contemporary studies on animal behavior and intelligence.
