Onto-Ethologies traces the influence of Uexkull's ideas on the thought of Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Gilles Deleuze, as they explore how animal behavior might be said to approximate, but also differ from, human behavior. It is the relation between animal and environment that interests Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze, and yet it is the differences in their approach to Uexkull (and to concepts such as world, body, and affect) that prove so fascinating. This book explores the ramifications of these encounters, including how animal life both broadens and deepens the ontological significance of their respective philosophies. 410 0$aSUNY series in environmental philosophy and ethics. 606 $aPhilosophy of nature 606 $aNaturalness (Environmental sciences) 606 $aAnimals (Philosophy) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature. 615 0$aNaturalness (Environmental sciences) 615 0$aAnimals (Philosophy) 676 $a113/.8 700 $aBuchanan$b Brett$f1975-$0944558 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454134803321 996 $aOnto-ethologies$92132217 997 $aUNINA
