摘要

摘要：为了回答关于人类与非人类动物之间异同的古老问题，动物认知科学家们采用了传统的伊索寓言《乌鸦与皮特》作为实验研究的叙事框架和结构先例。在此，我将在艾伦·邓德斯的民间观念（1971）和民俗流派理论的背景下，思考民俗学和科学之间这种特殊交叉的理论含义。最终，我判断所谓的伊索寓言范式是科学中的一个民间传说客串，还是真正的科学民间传说的一个更复杂的案例。

The Animal Question as Folklore in Science

Abstract:Looking to answer ancient questions about the similarities and differences between humans and nonhuman animals, animal cognition scientists have deployed a traditional Aesopian fable, the Crow and the Pitcher, as narrative frame and structural precedent for experimental investigation. Herein, I consider the theoretical implications of this peculiar intersection between folklore and science in the contexts of Alan Dundes's notion of folk ideas (1971) and folkloristic genre theory. Ultimately, I gauge whether the so-called Aesop's Fable Paradigm is simply a folkloric cameo in science or a more complicated case of genuine scientific folklore.
