Summary
Dominique Pagani cites Karl von Frisch for his work on the dance of bees. He returns to it several times between 2015 and 2022, in sessions on varied subjects: philosophizing between crisis and war, Hegel, Racine, artificial intelligence, Clouscard and Socrates. What he takes from it is the description of the figure-of-eight dance, through which the scout bee indicates the direction, distance and quantity of the food source1. He grants that this communication is genuinely sophisticated2, but stresses each time that it is not a language. He calls it innate3 or programmed4. The example serves him to distinguish a transmission of information, however precise, from language properly speaking. His point does not vary from one session to another. In 2021, he takes it up again in a reflection on the science and philosophy of artificial intelligence1.
