Most people readily believe that their pet has feelings. They not
only believe it but seem to have constant evidence of it before
their eyes. However, most modern scientists disagree with this view
and dismiss the 'evidence' as invalid anthropomorphism. Full of
anecdotes and psychological insight, this absorbing book from the
author of Dogs Never Lie About Love opens a door that has been
firmly closed in the academic world for many years and, in so
doing, makes a compelling argument for animal sensibility. (Kirkus
UK)
Arguments that animals possess an emotional life are often dismissed as sentimental anthropomorphism. Here Jeffrey Masson challenges that notion. He proposes that the objective scientific evidence for HUMAN emotions is all but non-existent. Thus, if the whole of our human psychological understanding rests on reflective inferences, why are the same criteria considered invalid for animals? Challenging and provocative, the book is rich in anecdote and psychological insight.
