Description

Listening by Jean-Luc Nancy Fordham University Press, 2007, Paperback, 85 pages. This book is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between humans and animals. It examines how thinkers such as Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, Lacan, and Levinas have understood the distinction between man and animal, and argues that this distinction has led to the relegation of animal life. The author's own experiences with his cat are used to illustrate these ideas, particularly in relation to the concept of nakedness and shame. The book is a critical examination of how humans have historically treated animals, and offers a militant plea for greater understanding and respect towards all living beings. Through its exploration of the human-animal relationship, Listening raises important questions about our place within the natural world and our responsibilities towards other species.
