> Dogs think. The fashion in which they do it is recognized by Aristotle in Historia Animalium, as well as in Metaphysics and De Anima. He also mentions it in passing in Nicomachean Ethics (III.ii) > Choice, then, seems to be voluntary, but not the same thing as the voluntary; the latter extends more widely. For both children and the lower animals share in voluntary action, but not in choice, and acts done on the spur of the moment we describe as voluntary, but not as chosen. * https://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/nicomachaen.3.iii.html https://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/nicomachaen.3.iii.html > It seems that choosing is willing, but that the two terms are not identical, willing being the wider. For children and other animals have will, but not choice or purpose; and acts done upon the spur of the moment are said to be voluntary, but not to be done with deliberate purpose. * https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/aristotle/nicomachean-ethics/f-h-peters/text/book-3#chapter-3-1-2 https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/aristotle/nicomachean-ethi...
