The Cognitive Horse

The ethical face of the Other, a face that exists in a dialogue, without rewards or punishments, without gentle conditionings or obedient socializations, and for this makes me fully owner of myself and of my own learning, truly social, cognitively responsible for myself and for my choices. A face that does not leads to success or survival, but that facilitate the return to myself, homeward, as an autonomous entity and not heteronomous, and therefore definitely gives me the ultimate freedom.

The pic of the face of Amour is by Andrea Gaspardo, during the Learning Horse study program in Ethology and Zooanthropology, Italian edition 2015, at Improntamica Zooantropologia, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
