Overview

Traité de l'ame et de la connoissance des bÃates, by Antoine Dilly, originally published in 1690, explores the nature of the soul and the understanding of animals. This significant work attempts to demonstrate the spirituality of the human soul while explaining the surprising actions of animals through the mechanical principles of Descartes. Dilly's treatise offers insights into 17th-century philosophical and scientific thought, examining the intersection of philosophy of mind, zoology, and the mechanistic worldview. This edition provides a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of philosophy, the history of science, and the development of ideas about animal cognition and consciousness.
