don`t animals intelect that this particular 4-legged object is a predator wanting to kill them?

[@LyceumInstitute]

They *cognize* that those objects are threats, but they do not *intellect* that something is a predator, or that it has desires to kill; only that this object exhibits behavior which receives the interpretation of a threat.

@@LyceumInstitute hopefully it solves the problem
but it renders my experience illusory

[@LyceumInstitute]

@@McRingil how so?

[@McRingil]

Simply I think my cat recognizes different kinds/categories of objects and I`m not sure whether it contradicts your position. I would love to elaborate but I don`t know if you got time for such a dumbass as me, I`m a 100% amateur. I don`t get why apprehension of these universal categories/perfections is the crucial argument for human soul immateriality. Don`t they reside in "ordinary" objects too?Making them partly immaterial?

[@LyceumInstitute]

@@McRingil Your cat certainly recognizes different kinds--as governing the cat's response. But does it recognize the being of those kinds? Does it recognize that another cat possesses the same nature as itself, and that that nature is shared by all cats? Or does it recognize that there are some ways to act in response to another cat which are different from the responses to a dog, or to a human?
A combox is never the right place for discussions with this degree of complexity and difficulty. But I go into more detail, which you can read at your leisure, here: cp-insight.com/projects/introduction-to-philosophical-principles/
