A primatologist and a humanist together explore the meaning of being a “human animal”
Humanness is typically defined by our capacity for language and abstract thinking. Yet decades of research led by the primatologist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh has shown that chimpanzees and bonobos can acquire human language through signing and technology.
Drawing on this research, Dialogues of the Human Ape brings Savage-Rumbaugh into conversation with the philosopher Laurent Dubreuil to explore the theoretical and practical dimensions of what being a “human animal” means. In their use of dialogue as the primary mode of philosophical and scientific inquiry, the authors transcend the rigidity of scientific and humanist discourses, offering a powerful model for the dissemination of speculative hypotheses and open-ended debates grounded in scientific research.
Arguing that being human is an epigenetically driven process rather than a fixed characteristic rooted in genetics or culture, this book suggests that while humanness may not be possible in every species, it can emerge in certain supposedly nonhuman species. Moving beyond irrational critiques of ape consciousness that are motivated by arrogant, anthropocentric views, Dialogues on the Human Ape instead takes seriously the continuities between the ape mind and the human mind, addressing why language matters to consciousness, free will, and the formation of the “human animal” self.
一个灵长类动物学家和一个人文主义者一起探索“人类动物”的含义，人性的典型定义是我们的语言能力和抽象思维能力。然而，由灵长类动物学家苏·萨维基-蓝保领导的数十年的研究表明，黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩可以通过手势和技术获得人类语言。在这项研究的基础上，《人猿对话录》将 savage-rumbaugh 带入与哲学家 laurent dubreuil 的对话中，以探索“人类动物”的理论和实践维度。作者们将对话作为哲学和科学探究的主要模式，超越了科学和人文主义话语的僵化，为推测性假说的传播和以科学研究为基础的开放式辩论提供了一个强有力的模型。他们认为，人类是一个外生的驱动过程，而不是植根于遗传学或文化的固定特征，本书表明，虽然人性可能不是在每个物种都可能，但它可能出现在某些所谓的非人类物种中。超越了以傲慢的人类中心主义观点为动机的对猿意识的非理性批判，关于人猿的对话反而重视猿意识和人类意识之间的连续性，解释为什么语言对意识、自由意志和“人类动物”自我的形成很重要。
