Bring the dead back to ethology

Which mode of existence should we confer to the deceased that continue to interfere in the life of the left behind? They do have regularity (albeit local and always in relation to a particular milieu) that we can rely on. It is therefore possible to constitute a science of the deceased that fits them; one that describes them, anticipates their behaviors, and even that can interpret (in the sense of guiding a reply to) what they want or request. The deceased thus have an ecology (milieu is a crucial issue for them, and we sometimes witness real extinction in highly unfavorable niches) and, above all, an ethology – the science that hitherto studied the behavior of animals. Provided, however – and the same also applies to animals – that we are not referring to the traditional version of what is called classical ethology, otherwise known as behavioral biology and which primarily studies specific instincts and invariants.The science of ethology is above all a practical science. It is the science of what beings do and get others to do, what they are capable of doing. Therefore, the facts that it describes should only be described using the infinitive.
