Autor

Conwy Lloyd Morgan (1852-1936) was a prominent British psychologist and ethologist, often regarded as one of the founding figures in the field of comparative psychology. His seminal work 'Animal Life and Intelligence', published in 1890, established him as a distinguished thinker in the emerging discourse on animal behavior and cognition. In this landmark book, Lloyd Morgan put forth observations and theories on the intellectual capacities of animals, endeavoring to elucidate the nature and evolution of animal intelligence. His methodological contributions, particularly 'Morgan's Canon', a principle advocating for the simplest explanation of animal behavior, profoundly influenced subsequent scientific inquiry in ethology and psychology. His approach advocated a cautious interpretation of animal behavior to avoid anthropomorphic explanations, thereby laying an empirical groundwork for the objective study of animal psychology. Through his academic career, Lloyd Morgan's erudite exploration and rigorous analysis have left an indelible mark on the way we understand animal cognition, and his works continue to be referenced in contemporary studies on animal behavior and intelligence.
