Perceiption, imagination, intentionality, memory and emotions are capacities that we have in common with non-human animals. Animals' physical constitution and contitive appartus are so similar to ours thar we frequently ask ourselves if they "think" at least in a wide sense. Plenty of times, animals show behaviors that allow us to ascribe them mental states. The latter however is an often-discussed possbility that has been debated by contemporary philosphers and scholars working on cognitive scences. Within ancient and medieval philolsophy there is an especial emphasis in the similarites btween the animal and human cotnifive systems. This paper argues that both philosphers Aristotle and Avicenna offer some epistemological considerations that may justify animal knowlege.
