SCIENTIFIC.
ANIMAL

Early Christianity was too deeply
concerned with the hereafter of the
human soul to pay much attention to
the eschatology of animals; and it was
not till the seventeenth century that
the question was brought into some
prominence by the Cartesian theory
that the lower animals were automatic,
and as such devoid of feeling, expressly
on the ground that they had no souls.
This view was readily adopted by the
theologians of the age, who saw in it a
path of escape from the moral difficulty
presented by the existence of animal
suffering. Pascal regarded it as a
of exculpating Divine benevo-
lence from the imputation of purpose
