In Animal Rationality: Later Medieval Theories 1250-1350, Anselm
Oelze offers the first comprehensive and systematic exploration of
theories of animal rationality in the later Middle Ages.
Traditionally, it was held that medieval thinkers ascribed
rationality to humans while denying it to nonhuman animals. As
Oelze shows, this narrative fails to capture the depth and
diversity of the medieval debate. Although many thinkers, from
Albert the Great to John Buridan, did indeed hold that nonhuman
animals lack rational faculties, some granted them the ability to
engage in certain rational processes such as judging, reasoning, or
employing prudence. There is thus a whole spectrum of positions to
be discovered, many of which show interesting parallels with
contemporary theories of animal rationality.
