Consider This
• Emmanuel Kant believed animals were dominated by instinct and desire. Animal behaviour is shaped by these compulsions
1. They Eat 2. They Fight3. They Love4. And They Sleep When It's All Over

Also This.....• Of course human beings are no different to animals
and Kant believed we shared their instincts and desires
1. We Eat2. We Fight3. We Love 4. And We Sleep When It's All Over

• However what separates humans from animals is our ability to REASON. It is this faculty that enables us to act freely and against our instincts and desires if we so choose. • It is also the reason why we are superior to the rest of the
animal kingdom.
