Why Scientists Are Still Puzzled by Consciousness
“Some scientists are investigating whether animals such as octopuses and fish are conscious, although not in the same way as humans. There may not be a single type of cognition, as a German interdisciplinary research team argued in a 2020 article, calling for researchers to adopt a ‘biocentric’ approach that accounts for the physical and social contexts of a particular animal. This position is antithetical to conventional scientific thinking. ‘Descartes believed that animals ‘can’t feel or can’t suffer,’ said Rajesh Reddy, an assistant professor and director of the animal law program at Lewis and Clark College, in an NBC News article. ‘To feel compassion for them, or empathy for them, was somewhat silly or anthropomorphizing.’”
