About this book

In the thought-provoking essay "Has a Frog a Soul?" by Thomas Huxley, published in the 19th century, the renowned biologist delves into the philosophical debate surrounding the existence of consciousness in animals. Huxley challenges traditional beliefs by examining the concepts of consciousness and soul in the context of scientific inquiry, shedding light on the complexities of animal cognition and emotions. Through compelling arguments and scientific observations, he explores the implications of attributing consciousness to non-human creatures, inviting readers to reconsider their perspectives on the inner lives of animals. Ideal for students of philosophy and biology, as well as animal rights advocates, this document offers a fascinating exploration of the boundaries of consciousness and ethics.
