Description: Dialogues on the Human Ape, Paperback by Dubreuil, Laurent; Savage-Rumbaugh, Sue, ISBN 1517905656, ISBN-13 9781517905651, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Dubreuil, a comparative literature, Romance studies, and cognitive science professor, presents dialogues with Sue Savage-Rambaugh, a scientist specializing in primate learning, about what being a "human animal” means and the continuities between the ape mind and the human mind, particularly why language matters to consciousness, free will, and the formation of the "human animal" self. They consider how apes can acquire human language through signing and technology and show that being human is a process that can emerge in nonhuman species. They discuss the construction of the category of the "animal"; the idea of consciousness, its different types, and dialogic and symbolic dimensions among "languaged" animals; human language and how chimpanzees and bonobos could acquire and use it; and the roles and functions of determinism and free will.
