No. Under duress animals do not have will, they act by instinct. They may do such things as wash their offspring with their tongues in a moment of the love nature has bestowed in our hearts--and I believe animals can feel that--but they do not have the will to do anything but run in the face of danger, for example. We have the choice to stand up to danger. No deer will stand up to a lion. A giraffe will not stand up to a lion. A lion will not attempt to indimidate a rhinoserous. But we have the will to intimidate those smaller than us--we call it injustice. We also have the right to intimidate those larger than us--we call it stupidity.

once you employ the observe are on your question "why are maximum....?" then you somewhat advise presently residing philosophers. maximum philosophers i be attentive to contain nicely functioning human beings in society. Take as an occasion John Searle at UC Berkeley, between the main nicely prevalent philosophers alive at present. he's nicely functioning, is extremely social, sells actual sources, etc. so a methods as social habit is going, I see no distinction between philosophers and individuals having different careers. that's merely yet another academic profession!

I thihnk that it is. It may take the form of very simple, primitive 'survival instincts', but it's there. The ability to act on will in more and more sophisticated ways is one of the things that contribute to 'intelligence' (whatever it is that 'intelligence' actually means ☺)
