"This is exciting stuff! A new field of philosophy has come of age and this broad ranging volume has assembled an all-star collection of authors. For anyone interested in animals and their mental life, it will be the go-to volume for the next decade." - Stephen Stich, Rutgers University, USA
"What is it like to be a non-human being? In penetrating, sometimes entertaining chapters, numerous authors summarize the many approaches to the many parts of the answer to that question. This is a thorough overview of the immense span of human thinking about the capacity of non-human beings to experience life. It is a great resource for students, teachers, researchers, and writers interested in the topic." - Carl Safina, Stony Brook University, USA; author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel
