However, this binary is just one of the many ways humans and animals shape one another's existences and experiences of the world. Today, human-animal scholars are tasked with describing a world in which humans do not automatically take precedence over other beings. Whether ethnographic, ecological, or philosophical, the topics addressed in this volume bring into focus a web of relations transversing species lines in conversations across the disciplines. Both constructively and critically, human-animal scholars have focused their attention on interspecies relations as they manifest in various forms of ecological companionship and conflict. These studies of a social world composed of diverse relationships among humans and animals push beyond stubborn dichotomies, but also remind us that lessons from the past are crucial to an ethical path forward. To represent entangled ways of being in intelligible and conscientious ways, the authors in this volume write toward messy multiplicities in order to identify the worldly potentialities of a posthuman philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paige West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857452142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857452146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Paige West","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112988979455,"sku":"9780857452146","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7eb6cdb9-96dd-4876-a167-8e6252e857e3.jpg?v=1769612304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environment-and-society-volume-paige-west-9780857452146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
