Donald Wesling considers how humans, evolved from animals, have learned to code perception of movement into sentences and scenes. The book first specifies terms and questions in animal philosophy and surveys recent work on perception, then describes attributes of multispecies thinking and defines a tradition of writers in this lineage. Finally, the text concludes with literature coming into full focus in twelve case studies of varied readings. Overall, Wesling's book offers not a new method of literary criticism, but a reveal of what we all do with perceptual content when we read.Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,2634-6346LiteraturePhilosophyEthicsCognitive psychologyLiterary TheoryMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsCognitive PsychologyLiteraturePhilosophy.Ethics.Cognitive psychology.Literary Theory.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Cognitive Psychology.591.5418.4019Wesling Donaldauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut458145BOOK9910484854003321Animal Perception and Literary Language2848336UNINA
