Consciousness In Animals : 20 pages in length. When
one
considers the concept of consciousness, it is with great
hesitation that its traits are attributed to those who represent
the animal kingdom. However, what mankind has typically
done is employ the human form of consciousness when
applying it to animals, making it quite difficult for them to
meet up to such an adaptation. Indeed, while animals may
not possess the prerequisites for human consciousness,
which not only include awareness of external events or
phenomena, but also of one's own feelings, beliefs, and
mental events, they do harbor their own form of
consciousness that often transcends mankind's reality-based
existence. That humans are able to reason and communicate
through spoken language does in no way preclude the rest
of the animal kingdom from also inherently possessing a
distinct and definite consciousness; just because man
believes that he is the only species to maintain a state of
consciousness is no proof that it does not exist elsewhere.
The writer defends the position of consciousness in animals.
