| German commentary | Spinozas "explizite Zuschreibung von Empfindung und Affekten an Tiere ist eher in seinem generellen Panpsychismus begründet als in irgendwelchen Besonderheiten ihrer Körper oder ihres Verhaltens. In dieser wichtigen Hinsicht kann seine Position kaum als Vorläufer gegenwärtigen Interesses an evolutionären, ethologischen und verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Ansätzen verstanden werden" (S. 348). |
| English commentary | Spinoza's "explicit attribution of sentience and affects to brutes is grounded in his general panpsychism, rather than any particularities in their bodies and behavior. In this important aspect his position can hardly be seen as an antecedent of contemporary interest in animal cognition, bound up as that interest tends to be with evolutionary, ethological "and behavioral approaches" (p. 348). |
