My best teachers were not in the classroom and my best healers were not always in the medical profession. My father and mother taught me things you cannot measure with a test like patience, discipline, and self-reliance. Nurses and doctors labeled my physical and mental impairments and treated them with the best science had to offer. But, they did not heal my body and mind. Healing came from within. It took time and was nurtured by love and nature. This book introduces you to the people, jobs, places, and schools that made me who I am today....

Philosophy, Animality and the Life Sciences
ISBN: 9780748676774 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Using animals for scientific research is a highly contentious issue that Continental philosophers engaging with "the animal question" have been rightly accused of shying away from. Now, Wahida Khandker asks, can Continental approaches to animality and organic life make us reconsider our treatment of non-human animals? By following its historical and philosophical development, Khandker argues that the concept of 'pathological life' as a means of understanding organic life as a whole plays a pivotal role in refiguring the human-animal distinction.

As scientific institutions sent collectors to bring back exotic animals and...

The Speaking Animal: Ethics, Language and the Human-Animal Divide
ISBN: 9781783485116 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Animals regularly populate philosophical texts as a foil to illustrate what it means to be human. How should we understand this human-animal divide? Not only does it inform us of who we are, it also tells us how we should relate to the larger non-human world. The Speaking Animal interrogates the human-animal divide by looking at our linguistic differences - how the speaking human subject is constructed through its opposition to the dumb animal. Alison Suen begins with an analysis of the role of language in animal ethics, with an eye toward the voice/voiceless opposition that is at work in...
