DESCARTES’S CONCEPTION OF ANIMAL-MACHINE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

Descartes claims that an animal is an automaton that operates by laws of mechanics. It doesn’t think, it doesn’t feel, and, therefore, it doesn’t suffer. So animals can be exploited without a guilty conscience and scientific experiments can be carried out on them. This view, very convenient for people, has followers nowadays, too.
