Donovan contends that animals' voices or standpoints should be part of any human decisions concerning their ethical treatment. Elaborating on feminist care theory and critical animal standpoint theory, the author provides compelling evidence for animal subjectivity, exploring in the process the nature of subjectivity and consciousness while drawing from recent developments in quantum and emergence theories that point away from the dominant ontology of Cartesian objectivism. Through these explorations, Donovan proposes that a new narrative is emerging in the arts and sciences--an inside story that re-subjectifies natural life and leaves behind the deadening Midas touch of Cartesian objectivism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josephine Donovan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611864372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611864373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michigan State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.92h x 6.77w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023","brand":"Josephine Donovan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073790767359,"sku":"9781611864373","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b41d6ec0-d046-4bcd-a6ff-b8ffaad992b9.jpg?v=1685449922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animals-mind-and-matter-josephine-donovan-9781611864373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
