Comienza el filósofo Feuerbach preguntándose, en un libro en el que intenta analizar la esencia de la religión, si los elefantes tienen o no religión. Rápidamente zanja la cuestión sugiriendo que se trata más de una opinión curiosa que de una realidad. La religión sería propia de humanos y sólo de los humanos. En principio parece que todos estaríamos de acuerdo con Feuerbach, pero si damos un paso más las cosas comienzan a tomar unos tonos claro-oscuros que exigen alguna precisión. Volvamos a los longevos elefantes. Según el experto keniata J. Poole, los elefantes se quedan varios días en silencio velando a sus parientes fallecidos. De vez en cuando los acarician con la trompa. Su actitud parece ofrecer pocas dudas de que poseen emociones relacionadas con la muerte. Si avanzamos en la escala de la evolución, tales emociones adquieren rasgos que se asemejan no poco a nuestra conducta humana. | Translation - English
In a book in which he attempts to analyze the essence of religion, the philosopher Feuerbach begins by wondering aloud whether or not elephants have religion. He quickly dismisses the question, suggesting that it has more to do with curious speculation than with reality. Religion must be characteristic of humans, and only humans. At first, it seems we would all agree with Feuerbach, but if we take a closer look, discrepancies appear which beg to be explained. Let us return to the long-lived elephants. According to Kenyan expert J. Poole, elephants mourn their dead in silence for several days, occasionally caressing the bodies with their trunks. Their behavior seems to leave little doubt that they have emotions regarding death. If we move down the evolutionary timeline, such emotions take on qualities that resemble in no small measure our behavior as humans. |
