Boddice.Anthropocentrism is a charge of human chauvinism and an acknowledgement of human ontological boundaries. Anthropocentrism has provided order and structure to humans’ understanding of the world, while unavoidably expressing the limits of that understanding. This collection explores the assumptions behind the label ‘anthropocentrism’, critically enquiring into the meaning of ‘human’. It addresses the epistemological and ontological problems of charges of anthropocentrism, questioning whether all human views are inherently anthropocentric. In addition, it examines the potential scope for objective, empathetic, relational, or ‘other’ views that trump anthropocentrism. With a principal focus on ethical questions concerning animals, the environment and the social, the essays ultimately cohere around the question of the non-human, be it animal, ecosystem, god, or machine.Human-Animal Studies12.SpeciesismHuman beingsAnimal rightsHuman-animal relationshipsSpeciesism.Human beings.Animal rights.Human-animal relationships.179/.3Boddice Rob1163051MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781507003321Anthropocentrism3847341UNINA
