Resumen: El texto sugiere que tratar de comprender mejor la conducta animal supone hacerse cargo de que los animales no son diferentes de los seres humanos precisamente porque carezcan de conciencia o de inteligencia, y que hacerse car-go de esa tarea podria suponer mejoras de interes en nuestra imagen del mundo natural, porque podrian servir para acceder a otras dimensiones de la realidad que la conciencia animal sabe poner de manifiesto.

Animals and Possible Worlds Abstract: The paper suggests that a better understanding of animal behavior im-plies overcoming the idea that animals are different from humans precisely in that they lack awareness or intelligence. The search for this understanding could lead us to notable improvements in our image of the natural world, which could allow us to access other dimensions of reality that animal consciousness knows how to reveal. Keywords: Consciousness, Philosophy of Mind, Subject, Intelligence, Reason, Instinct. Recibido: 22/10/2017 Aprobado: 5/11/2017
