"I reckon that if you whipped a dog five or six times to the sound of a violin, it would begin to howl and run away as soon as it heard that music again." Descartes, 1630!

Off topic, but: Any more plans to do the Hegel reading?

That is, I know you mentioned the beginning of May, but there hasn't been any further discussion of it, so I wanted to make sure we were still on before buying the text and joining in. (A local bookstore carries it, I'm not worried about not getting it in time.)

Yes, I've been meaning to make a preliminary post about it. I will tomorrow after work if I don't tonight.

[yechezkiel]

Sounds excellent, then; I'm in.

[essius]

But on Descartes' account the dog still wouldn't "mind."

[zephret]

An example of behavioural conditioning before it's time...?

[anosognosia]

Yes, and as an off-hand remark!
