Description

What are we? What is the nature of the human person? Animalism has a straightforward answer to these long-standing philosophical questions: we are animals.

After being ignored for a long time in philosophical discussions of our nature, this idea has recently gained considerable support in metaphysics and philosophy of mind.

It has also, amongst philosophers, occasioned strong opposition, even though it might be said to be the view assumed by much of the scientificcommunity.

Essays on Animalism is the first volume to be devoted to this important topic and promises to set the agenda for the next stage in the debate. Containing mainly new papers as well as two highly important articles that were recently published elsewhere, this volume's contributors include both emerging voices in the debate and many of those who have been instrumental in shaping it.

Some of their contributions defend animalism, others criticize it, still others explore its more general implications.

The book also contains a substantial introduction by the editors explaining what animalism is, identifying leading issues that meritattention, and highlighting many of the issues that the contributors have raised.
