The Boundaries of Human Nature

The Philosophical Animal from Plato to Haraway 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.
