E-grāmata: Three Ethologies: A Positive Vision for Rebuilding Human-Animal Relationships

"[ A] landmark book." * Psychology Today * Calarco is a longstanding pioneer thinker in animal studies who weds philosophical acuity with activist passion. In this work, he explores intellectual and practical transformations necessary for the lively co-existence of humans and animals in a post-anthropocentric world. His onto-ethical vision is a lyrical call for a worthwhile and meaningful life rife with opportunities for co-flourishing. -- Eileen Crist, Virginia Tech Calarco develops a very strong argument for rethinking our relation to other species along with the land that, as Indigenous peoples teach, holds us in connection. This highly readable book for those with a philosophical bent clears the ground for a reinvention of social bonds for an interspecies ethics. Along with the argument, vignettes anchored in the authors own experiences with a family of crows offer a glimpse of the beauty we might behold in learning to see-with other animals. -- Cynthia Willett, Emory University Modeled on Guattaris The Three Ecologies, Calarcos new book offers more than just an argument for a deeper, more compassionate coexistence with our fellow non-human creatures. It offers a vision of the good life, a richer modus vivendi that can only be achieved with their help. The question is this: can we become worthy of their gifts? Read this book and find out how. -- Cary Wolfe, Rice University
