QUIZ 13

Burdiansky argues against Perterson's idea about animals having the emotions that humans consist of. In the article Burdiansky expresses his thoughts saying animals do not have the morals and emotions that humans have and that we are different. I feel that Midgely would respond to this argument by discussing the differences between animals and humans and that we are completely different species. This does not mean that she believes that animals have no values and are mindless machines that are spread throughout the earth but that humans and animlas do not fit into the same category when it comes to cognitive processes. She would argue that it is antropocentric to apply human emotions to animals. That is why she would not agree with Peterson's argument about the Gorillia acting with his human like emotions to rescue the boy because we are just insisting on what we feel the animal feels which Midgely would openly disagree with.
