Roberto Marchesini is an Italian philosopher and ethologist whose
work is significant for the rethinking of animality and
human-animal relations. Throughout such important books as Il dio
Pan (1988), Il concetto di soglia (1996), Post-human (2002),
Intelligenze plurime (2008), Epifania animale (2014), and Etologia
filosofica (2016), he offers a scathing critique of reductive,
mechanistic models of animal behaviour, as well as a positive
contribution to zooanthropological and phenomenological methods for
understanding animal life. Centred on the dynamic and performative
field of interactions and relations in the world, his critical and
speculative approach to the cognitive life sciences offers a vision
of animals as acting subjects and bearers of culture, whose action
and agency is also indispensable to human culture. In tracing the
ways in which we share our lives and histories with animals in
different contexts of interaction, Marchesini's cutting-edge
philosophical ethology also contributes to an overarching
philosophical anthropology of the human as the animal that most
requires the present and input of other animals. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Angelaki: Journal of the
Theoretical Humanities.
