THE SHAPE OF ANIMAL THOUGHT: FROM COGNITION TO LAW
Recent decades have transformed our understanding of animal minds: spatial reasoning, numeracy, even innate musical preferences. These findings raise urgent legal questions. If a newborn chick can distinguish consonance from dissonance, how does this reshape our relationship with non-human animals? Is the law ready to respond? This talk explores the boundary between science and legal norms, from comparative cognition to non-human legal personhood.
