Description

“No one tradition alone offers a sufficient respect for other species.

Taken together, they may offer a prospect for saner human-animal relations.” – From the bookWestern conceptions of objectivity and individuality have resulted in a readier appreciation of the worth of the animals and nature than has been recognized.

This provocative book takes issue with the popular view that the Western cultural tradition, in contrast to Eastern and Aboriginal traditions, has encouraged attitudes of domination and exploitation towards nature, particularly animals. Preece argues that the Western tradition has much to commend it, and that descriptions of Aboriginal and Oriental orientations have often been misleadingly rosy, simplified and codified according to current fashionable concepts. Animals and Nature is the result of six years’ intensive study into comparative religion, literature, philosophy, anthropology, mythology and animal welfare science.
