Title: Anik Waldow
Animal Sentience and the Human Bête Machine
In this paper I will investigate the limits of Cartesian bodies by
examining the differences between the human animal machine and the animal
machine proper. To develop a clearer grasp of what animal machines can (and
cannot) do is desirable not only because it allows us to refute many of the
stereotypical views about Descartes dualism: if it can be shown that a
range of psychological functions, such as sensation and imagination, are
attributable to animals, which ex hypothesi lack an immaterial mind, it
becomes clear that Descartes is ready to consider many of the phenomena
that we today call mental as phenomena that bodies can produce; beside
this, it also enables us to see that Descartes’ reflections on animal
machines serve the purpose of negotiating the moral potential of embodied
creatures whose bodies are governed by mechanical procedures.
