Aristotle on Animal Language - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 448 Animal Language/Aristotle/Gadamer: Language is a free and variable possibility of humans in its use. It is also variable for him or her in itself, as long as it offers various possibilities of expression I 449 of the same thing. >Language/Aristotle, >Language/Ancient Philosophy. The communication possibilities between the animals do not know such variability. This means ontologically that they communicate with each other, but do not communicate about state of affairs as such, the epitome of which is the world. Aristotle already saw this with full clarity: while the call of the animals instructs their conspecifics in a certain behavior, the linguistic communication through the Logos reveals the being itself.(1) >Logos/Aristotle. 1. Arist. Polit. A 2, 1253 a 10ff._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
