The book Towards a Philosophy of Animality explores the relationship between humans and animals through the philosophical concept of animality, offering a thoughtful re-examination of how we perceive other living beings.
It analyzes the anthropocentric frameworks through which animals are commonly understood and assessed, highlighting how they are often regarded as “deficient” for lacking speech or culture.
Through this critical lens, the book reveals a deeper estrangement — not only from animals, but also from our own vital dimension.
Engaging in dialogue with The Open by Giorgio Agamben, the volume situates the discussion of animality within a broader philosophical context, contributing meaningfully to contemporary debates on the boundaries between the human and the animal.
