Do laws of logic exist?
Nov 1, 2017 · Cameron Buckner, assistant professor of philosophy at UH, says empirical evidence suggests a variety of animal species are able to make rational decisions, despite the lack of a human-like language. Previous research has shown that animals can remember specific events, use tools and solve problems.

Schechter (2011, 2013) has offered an evolutionary “in principle” explanation for our faith in logical truths. It is a typical one for cutting-edge naturalists about logic, so I use it as my starting point.Footnote 2 He wonders about our more-or-less granted “reliability” about logical truths, for by and large “our logical beliefs match the logical...
Problems arise with the details. Most urgently, his account does not give an empirically supported explanation of how extensive planning could have evolved alongside our reasoning abilities. To be fair, Schechter does not aim for such details. He only seeks for a philosophical possibility, not an empirical explanation (2013: p. 230). Due to this, h...
Schechter’s attempt to establish evolutionary naturalism shifted the dispute—willingly or not—from arguments about possibility towards arguments about plausibility. As just seen, the route from a philosophical “possible” to an evolutionary “plausible” is more intricate than expected: without empirical support, a possible scenario still leaves too m...

Sep 5, 2019 · Animal thought. There is little doubt that animals think. Their behaviour is too sophisticated to suppose otherwise. But it is awfully difficult to say precisely what animals think. Our human...
Nov 1, 2017 · Summary: Previous studies have shown that animals can remember specific events, use tools and solve problems. But exactly what that means remains a matter of scientific dispute.
Animal reasoning, for instance, is an area of interest that explores how different species use logic to solve problems or make decisions. Some animals display impressive problem-solving abilities, such as tool use by chimpanzees or the ability of dolphins to understand complex communication signals.
Mar 14, 2002 · Do animals think? “Of course they do,” answers Marc Hauser, a Harvard professor of psychology. “How could they not think and manage to survive in the world?”
