This project aims to develop a new field of inquiry: philosophical ethology. Ethology is the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour. At a time of dwindling habitats and biodiversity loss, new insights into animal cognition, technology and culture have unsettled the traditional view of animals as merely reactive machines. The project aims to conduct a historical, conceptual and epistemological study of the sciences of animal behaviour, and to provide conceptual resources for understanding human relations with wildlife. Its goal is to develop new insight into changing human and natural systems and contribute to debates in the environmental humanities and animal studies.

这个项目旨在发展一个新的研究领域：哲学行为学。动物行为学是科学而客观地研究动物行为的学科。在栖息地减少和生物多样性丧失的时代，对动物认知、技术和文化的新见解动摇了动物仅仅是反应机器的传统观点。该项目旨在对动物行为科学进行历史、概念和认识论研究，并为理解人类与野生动物的关系提供概念资源。它的目标是发展对不断变化的人类和自然系统的新见解，并为环境人文和动物研究的辩论做出贡献。
