Provides a comprehensive examination of views of animals in the history of Western philosophy, from Homeric Greece to the twentieth century. It sketches the terms of the current debates about animals and relates these to their historical antecedents, focusing on both the dominant anthropocentric voices and those recurring voices that instead assert a fundamental kinship relation between human beings and animals.
