The Boundaries of Human Nature
Understanding the Rights of Nature
The Philosophical Animal from Plato to Haraway
A Critical Introduction Mihnea Tănăsescu
Matthew Calarco
Matthew Calarco unearths surprising insights about animals from a number of philosophers while also underscoring ways in which the philosophical tradition has failed to challenge the dogma of human-centeredness. Along the way, he indicates how mainstream Western philosophy is both complemented and challenged by non-Western traditions and noncanonical theories about animals.
This book presents the logic behind giving nature rights and discusses key cases in which this has happened, ranging from constitutional rights of nature in Ecuador to rights for rivers in New Zealand, Colombia, and India. Mihnea Tănăsescu offers clear answers to the thorny questions that the intrusion of nature into law is sure to raise.
