The Death of the Animal
Angebote / Angebote:
Cavalieri opens with a dialogue between two imagined philosophers, laying out her challenge to moral perfectionism and tracing its influence on our attitudes toward the "unworthy." She then follows with a roundtable "multilogue" which takes on the role of reason in ethics and the boundaries of moral status. Coetzee, Nobel Prize winner for Literature and author of The Lives of Animals, emphasizes the animality of human beings, Miller, a prominent analytic philosopher at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, dismantles the rationalizations of human bias, Cary Wolfe, professor of English at Rice University, advocates an active exposure to other worlds and beings, and Matthew Calarco, author of Zoographies: The Question of the Animal from Heidegger to Derrida, extends ethical consideration to entities that traditionally have little or no moral status, such as plants and ecosystems.
