Animals in Greek and Roman Thought: A Sourcebook
ISBN: 9780415773348 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Although reasoned discourse on human-animal relations is often considered a late twentieth-century phenomenon, ethical debate over animals and how humans should treat them can be traced back to the philosophers and literati of the classical world. From Stoic assertions that humans owe nothing to animals that are intellectually foreign to them, to Plutarch's impassioned arguments for animals as sentient and rational beings, it is clear that modern debate owes much to Greco-Roman thought. Animals in Greek and Roman Thought brings together new translations of...

And as Laura Hobgood-Oster reveals, many of them are not living very well--sadly, not very well at all. Seeking to awaken Christians to the place and, too often, plight of animals in the twenty-first century, "The Friends We Keep" gently but astutely introduces the situations animals face today--as companions, as animals in...

This pioneering work collects an amazing assemblage of court cases in which animals have been named as defendants--chickens, rats, field mice, bees, gnats, and (in 34 recorded instances) pigs, among others-- providing insight into such modern issues as animal rights, capital punishment, and social and criminal theory. Evans suggests an intriguing distinction between trials of specific animals or particular crimes, such as the "murder" of an infant by a pig, and trials for larger, catastrophic events, such as plagues and infestations. In the latter case, Evans...

What Derrida called "la pensee de l'animal" (which means both thinking concerning the animal...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This interdisciplinary study fuses analysis of feminist literature and manifestos, radical political theory, critical vanguard studies, women's performance art, and popular culture to argue for the animal liberation movement as successor to the liberationist visions of the early twentieth-century avant-gardes, most especially the Surrealists.
