The work delves into the psychological faculties of ants and other insects, examining their cognitive abilities and sensory perceptions. Aimed at readers interested in comparative psychology and the intricate behaviors of social insects, it posits that these creatures exhibit a range of mental faculties that may surprisingly parallel those of vertebrates. The opening of the book introduces the author’s stance on the mental capabilities of ants, addressing a scholarly debate regarding the existence of "psychic powers" in invertebrates. Forel sets the stage by discussing the fundamental differences and similarities between human and ant cognition, referencing historical and contemporary views within psychology. He makes a case for understanding ant behavior through the lens of complex instincts and learned experiences, suggesting that their behaviors—ranging from navigation to social cooperation—reflect a significant level of cognitive sophistication, thus paving the way for a deeper inquiry into the minds of these intriguing insects.
