Publisher's Synopsis
""Mind In The Lower Animals In Health And Disease: Mind In Health V1"" by W. Lauder Lindsay is a comprehensive exploration of the mental faculties of lower animals, including insects, mollusks, and fish. The book delves into the ways in which these creatures exhibit behaviors that suggest they possess some form of consciousness or awareness, and examines the various theories and hypotheses that have been put forth to explain these phenomena.The author also explores the effects of disease and injury on the mental faculties of lower animals, demonstrating that these creatures are capable of experiencing pain and suffering much like humans. He argues that a better understanding of the mental lives of animals could have important implications for our treatment of them, both in terms of animal welfare and in the development of new medical treatments.Written in a clear and accessible style, ""Mind In The Lower Animals In Health And Disease: Mind In Health V1"" is an important work for anyone interested in the study of animal behavior and cognition, and for those concerned with the ethical treatment of animals.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
