Book excerpt: Quelle place la philosophie, au sein de ses différents courants, a-t-elle réservé à l’animal ? Cette discipline, qui se définit historiquement comme « l’amour du savoir », rend-elle justice à la richesse du monde animal ? Comment et où a-t-elle fixé la différence entre l’être humain et les autres animaux ? A-t-elle pris la mesure de la singularité des espèces animales, sur laquelle des disciplines nouvelles comme l’éthologie la renseignent ? Et aujourd’hui, quelles sont les conséquences éthiques à tirer de notre savoir grandissant sur l’intelligence, les émotions, la sensibilité chez les animaux ? D’Aristote à la philosophie contemporaine, du rationalisme cartésien creusant l’écart entre l’homme et l’animal à la phénoménologie de l’existence animale qui tente d’en penser l’originalité, cet ouvrage propose un parcours de l’histoire de la philosophie vu sous le prisme de la question animale. Il s’articule autour de trois axes : « quels concepts ont fondé la différence entre l’être humain et les animaux ? », « comment comprendre la complexité des diverses formes de vie animale ? », « en quoi consiste l’éthique animale ? », qui forment autant d’interrogations décisives, non seulement pour la philosophie mais également pour toute réflexion s’intéressant à la manière dont la dévalorisation de l’animalité a pu s’opérer et comment il est possible d’en repenser le statut. Alexandre Iagodkine, ancien élève de l'École normale supérieure de Lyon, agrégé de philosophie, est doctorant contractuel en philosophie à l'Université Bordeaux Montaigne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the treatment of animals by humans--and an eloquent plea for animal rights. Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from his best-sellers Altruism and Happiness to their logical conclusion: that compassion toward all beings, including our fellow animals, is a moral obligation and the direction toward which any enlightened society must aspire. He chronicles the appalling sufferings of the animals we eat, wear, and use for adornment or “entertainment,” and submits every traditional justification for their exploitation to scientific evidence and moral scrutiny. What arises is an unambiguous and powerful ethical imperative for treating all of the animals with whom we share this planet with respect and compassion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together leading scholars from Belgium, Canada, France, and the United States, French Thinking about Animals makes available for the first time to an Anglophone readership a rich variety of interdisciplinary approaches to the animal question in France. While the work of French thinkers such as Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari has been available in English for many years, French Thinking about Animals opens up a much broader cross-cultural dialogue within animal studies. These original essays, many of which have been translated especially for this volume, draw on anthropology, ethology, geography, history, legal studies, phenomenology, and philosophy to interrogate human-animal relationships. They explore the many ways in which animals signify in French history, society, and intellectual history, illustrating the exciting new perspectives being developed about the animal question in the French-speaking world today. Built on the strength and diversity of these contributions, French Thinking about Animals demonstrates the interdisciplinary and internationalism that are needed if we hope to transform the interactions of humans and nonhuman animals in contemporary society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We need books like this one." --Steven Pinker At last, stupidity explained! And by some of the world's smartest people, among them Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Alison Gopnik, Howard Gardner, Antonio Damasio, Aaron James, and Ryan Holiday. And so I proclaim, o idiots of every stripe and morons of all kinds, this is your moment of glory: this book speaks only to you. But you will not recognize yourselves... Stupidity is all around us, from the coworker who won't stop hitting "reply all" to the former high school classmate posting conspiracy theories on Facebook. But in order to vanquish it, we must first understand it. In The Psychology of Stupidity, some of the world's leading psychologists and thinkers--including a Nobel Prize winner and bestselling authors--will show you... why smart people sometimes believe in utter nonsense; how our lazy brains cause us to make the wrong decisions; why trying to debate fools is a trap; how media manipulation and Internet overstimulation make us dumber; why the stupidest people don't think they're stupid. The wisdom and wit of these experts are a balm for our aggrieved souls and a beacon of hope in a world of morons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longtemps nous avons considéré les animaux comme ceux que la nature avait privés des qualités que nous, les humains, possédons : l'aptitude à raisonner, apprendre, communiquer, s'adapter, décoder, transmettre, enseigner, progresser... Les travaux scientifiques ont pulvérisé cette idée reçue, et depuis la dernière décennie, ils nous surprennent encore plus. Qui sont vraiment les animaux ? On les savait joueurs, blagueurs, rieurs, féroces parfois ; on les découvre tricheurs, menteurs, trompeurs, mais aussi aimants, mélancoliques ou encore émotifs, stratèges, sensibles aux intentions d'autrui, capables de respecter une morale ou d'élaborer une culture. La très grande ingéniosité des tests et l'extraordinaire diversité des observations scientifiques (éthologie, génétique, psychologie, zoologie, primatologie, neurosciences) nous révèlent les facettes de l'intelligence et de l'identité animales, et prouvent l'absurdité qu'il y a à réduire les compétences de la bête à la seule force de son instinct. Car en dépit des caractéristiques qui fondent l'homogénéité de son espèce, chaque animal est un individu à part entière, un être social unique, complexe, et par là même un sujet de droit. Des singes aux léopards, des éléphants aux antilopes, des baleines aux dauphins, l'auteur nous propose une approche de l'altérité qui apporte beaucoup au débat sur l'exploitation et la manipulation animales. Un plaidoyer fort documenté en faveur de la personne animale.

Download or read book The Intellectual Fraud of Meat-Eaters written by Thomas Lepeltier and published by Max Milo. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To be a vegetarian when you can eat meat is to deny the animal in you." "To slaughter an animal, you have to love animals"! "When living beings start to eat stones, the problem [of meat] will no longer be an issue." These are some quotes from philosophers and intellectuals that defy logic and encourage cruelty. Instead of recognizing that we should not cause suffering and kill sentient beings just for our pleasure, these intellectuals justify the consumption of animal products. They support a society that slaughters millions of animals daily because it does not want to change its eating habits. This book enumerates and denounces all the arguments developed by carnivores so that this great massacre can stop and a constructive debate on the place of animals in society can finally begin. Through books, articles and television appearances, experts and journalists criticize, denounce and mock the defenders of animals. This is not without consequences. Nowadays, few people remain insensitive to the fate of livestock. When a film is shot inside a slaughterhouse and broadcast in the media, most people are shocked. Then, confronted with the arguments of vegans and vegetarians, they look for answers. What to think? What to do? What to eat? And then these intellectuals come along and tell them that vegans and vegetarians are wrong. Each time, the basic ethical principle that we should not cause suffering and kill a sentient being just for our own pleasure is forgotten or misinterpreted. Instead, these intellectuals advance arguments that defy logic, have no rational basis, and encourage cruelty. But in so doing, they reinforce a society that unnecessarily kills a staggering number of animals because it does not want to change its eating habits. This book takes the position of denouncing them loud and clear; not for the pleasure of criticizing, but in the hope that this clarification will contribute to stopping the great massacre of livestock and serve to launch a constructive debate on their place in society. Thomas Lepeltier is a historian and philosopher of science. He is the author of several books on this theme, including Darwin hérétique (2007, Seuil), Univers parallèles (2010, Seuil), La Face cachée de l'univers (2014, Seuil). In 2013, he also published a book on animal ethics, La Révolution végétarienne (Éditions Sciences Humaines).

This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce recueil explore les relations mouvantes entre hommes et animaux, aussi bien réels que fantastiques, dans la France médiévale, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire. Les auteurs examinent la façon dont le rapport humain-animal a été imaginé, défini et remodelé dans la pensée, la culture et la production artistique du Moyen Age. La distinction entre l’humain et l’animal, fondamentale dans le texte biblique et la philosophie antique, a été remise en question au cours du XIIe siècle. Ce phénomène transparaît dans la terminologie utilisée pour désigner les animaux, dans leur représentation dans les arts et la littérature, et dans l’évolution de textes fondamentaux comme le Physiologus ou les bestiaires. Les frontières entre le monde humain et animal, fondées sur des critères comme la maîtrise du langage, la capacité à rire ou la responsabilité légale, ont profondément évolué et été remises en cause entre le XIIe et le XVe siècle. This is the first volume that explores the changing relationships between humans and animals, both real and fantastic, in medieval France, from a completely interdisciplinary perspective. The authors examine the way the human-animal rapport was imagined, defined and remodeled in thought, culture and artistic production. The distinction between human and animal, fundamental in the Bible and in Ancient philosophy, was challenged throughout the course of the 12th century. This phenomenon can be traced in changes in the terminology used to designate animals, in their representations in the arts and literature, and in the reworking of fundamental texts such as the Physiologus and the bestiaries. The borders between the human and the animal world, based on criteria such as linguistic ability, the capacity to laugh and even legal responsibility, evolved and were fundamentally reconsidered between the 12th and the 15th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Déconstruire l’idée que l’animal serait sans intelligence, sans conscience, sans langage, etc., n’est qu’une étape vers une entreprise plus essentielle : la reconnaissance de la richesse des mondes animaux, dans leur diversité, sans céder à la tentation de les hiérarchiser. Tel est l’esprit qui m’anime dans cet ouvrage. Parce que les animaux, humains ou non humains, ne sont pas les jouets passifs du monde qui les entoure et qu’ils en sont au contraire les créateurs actifs, parce qu’ils sont porteurs d’une vision du monde, je les considère comme des philosophes. Ils ne se contentent pas de percevoir passivement leur environnement, ils l’élaborent, ils l’anticipent. Ils donnent du sens aux choses. » Y. C.

Download or read book L'animal est-il un homme comme les autres ? written by Aurélien Barrau and published by Dunod. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin avait révolutionné l'idée que nous nous faisions de notre place dans la nature. Aujourd'hui, la science découvre peu à peu que les animaux pensent, apprennent, transmettent et qu'ils sont des êtres sensibles, déclenchant une véritable révolution philosophique et éthique. C'est ainsi que depuis 2015, ils ne sont plus considérés comme des "bien meubles", mais comme des "êtres vivants doués de sensibilité". La nouvelle loi sur le bien-être animal à peine votée, peut-on aller plus loin ? Entre passion et réalisme, Louis Schweitzer, ancien présdient de Renault, président de la fondation "Droit animal, éthique et science", et Aurélien Barrau, philosophe et astrophysicien, militant pour le respect des animaux, tentent de répondre à cette question qui remet profondément en cause nos choix de société. Cette édition actualisée discute des excès de l’élevage industriel, du transport d’animaux vivants, du sort des animaux des zoos et des cirques, ainsi que des pratiques traditionnelles controversées comme la chasse à la glue, déclarée illégale par la cour de justice de l'union européenne. Et toujours, de manière simple et accessible, de la manière de penser le lien entre les humains et les animaux.

Download or read book L'animal est l'avenir de l'homme written by Dominique Lestel and published by Fayard. This book was released on 2010-11-03 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question de notre rapport aux animaux est sans conteste un enjeu politique, philosophique et éthique majeur de notre époque. Peut-on encore fonder notre rapport au monde animal sur la conception cartésienne de « l’animal-machine » ? Comment expliquer que les défenseurs des animaux soient considérés comme des êtres trop sensibles et vaguement pathétiques, des ennemis de l’homme ? Dominique Lestel pense à l’inverse que le souci porté aux animaux est une preuve d’humanisme, voire d’humanité et le démontre dans cet essai enlevé et engagé. Il montre combien l’animal est pour l’homme un interlocuteur à part entière et parfois un partenaire, auprès duquel nous avons contracté une dette infinie. Revenant notamment sur la question de l’expérimentation animale (sans pour autant y être absolument opposé), il plaide pour le développement d’une bioéthique de la réciprocité, partant du principe que si nous prenons beaucoup à l’animal, nous devons aussi lui donner. Un livre de philosophie pratique, destiné bien sûr à donner des munitions à tous ceux qui persistent à défendre la cause animale, mais aussi à tous ceux qui souhaitent réconcilier animalisme et humanisme.

Download or read book A Semiotic Methodology for Animal Studies written by Pauline Delahaye and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is about new perspective in animal studies methodology, by using concepts and tools from the field of semiotics. It proposes a reflexion on current challenges and issues in the ethology field, and introduces different semiotics – biosemiotics, zoosemiotics – as potential methodological solutions. The chapters cover many aspects of ethology where semiotics can be a helpful hand: studies of language, culture, cognition or emotions, issues about complex, endangered or variable species. It explains why these points are difficult to study for actual ethology, why they still matter for researchers, biodiversity actors or wildlife programs, and how an interdisciplinary study with a semiotic point of view can help understand them. This book will appeal to a wide readership, from researchers and academics in living sciences as well as in linguistics fields, to other professionals – veterinarian, wildlife managers, zookeepers, and many others – who feel the need to better understand some aspects of animals they are working with. Students with animal focus should read this book as an introduction to interdisciplinary methodology, and a proposition to work differently with animals.
