Rationality in the Domesticated Dog and Other Non-Human Animals.
Using the domesticated dog as a case study, I argue that our conception of rationality in non-human animals should not solely depend on the attribution of propositional attitudes. Instead, I defend the notion that a dog's actions are rational when they enable her to successfully adapt to the environ...

Instead, I defend the notion that a dog's actions are rational when they enable her to successfully adapt to the environment at times when relevant environmental information is absent, hard to come by or novel. Furthermore, the dog may fix upon a rational course of action by employing rational processes, cognitive processes that have in the past reliably lead to adaptive, fitness maximising action. Argumento, usando al perro domesticado como un caso de estudio, que nuestra concepción de la racionalidad de los animales no humanos no debería depender solamente de la atribución de actitudes proposicionales. Defiendo por el contrario la noción de que las acciones de un perro son racionales cuando le capacitan para adaptarse con éxito al entorno en momentos en los que la información relevante sobre el entorno está ausente, es difícil de alcanzar o es nueva. Además, el perro puede tomar parte en un curso de acción racional empleando procesos racionales, procesos cognitivos que le han conducido fiablemente en el pasado a la realización de acciones adecuadas que maximizan tal rasgo. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Case Study src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Teorema is the property of Teorema and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
