Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart?

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay argues for an abiding connection between empathy and advocacy by revealing their unrecognized parallels in Aristotle and Nietzsche. The argument makes three new claims.
