Animate Intelligence
From: The Web of Meaning
$2.60
This chapter links the European loss of seeing the world as connected with the Scientific Revolution, and how that view has continued uninterrupted in Indigenous ways of seeing and knowing. Modern scientific research has validated the intelligence of the natural world. IQ tests, the "mind" of the cell, the intelligence of plants, and the moods of invertebrates are also described.
