• Sommario/riassunto: What are we? What is the nature of the human person? Animalism has a straightforward answer to these long-standing philosophical questions: we are animals. In this publication, fifteen philosophers offer new essays exploring this increasingly popular view, some defending animalism, others criticising it and others exploring its more philosophical implications.
