Animal Inside - Essays at the Intersection of Philosophical Anthropology and Animal StudiesPaperback
Much has been written about animals in applied ethics, environmental ethics, and animal rights. The contributors in this important volume focus on how the animal has appeared and can be used in philosophical argumentation as a metaphor or reference point that helps us understand what is distinctively human and what is not. This book takes a new turn, offering an examination of the 'animal question' from a more fundamental, philosophical-anthropological perspective.
While the chapters straddle the boundaries of historical-philosophical and systematic, continental and analytic approaches, their thematic unity knits them together, presenting a rich, broad, and yet cohesive perspective. A recurring theme in the essays is the existence of a zone of ambiguity between animals and humans, which puts into question comfortable assumptions about the uniqueness and superiority of human nature.
