The aim of this Element is to provide a novel framework for gaining
a critical grasp on the present situation concerning animals. It
offers reflections on resisting the established order as well as
suggestions on what forms alternative, pro-animal ways of life
might take. The central argument of the book is that the search for
an anthropological difference - that is, for a marker of human
uniqueness determined by way of a sharp human/animal distinction -
should be set aside. In place of this traditional way of
differentiating human beings from animals, the author sketches an
alternative way of thinking and living in relation to animals based
on indistinction, a concept that points toward the unexpected and
profound ways in which human beings share in animal life, death,
and potentiality. The implications of this approach are then
examined in view of practical and theoretical discussions in the
environmental humanities and related fields.
