This groundbreaking work of both theoretical and experiential
thought by two leading ecological philosophers and animal
liberation scientists ventures into a new frontier of applied
ethical anthrozoological studies. Through lean and elegant text,
readers will learn that human interconnections with other species
and ecosystems are severely endangered precisely because we lack -
by our evolutionary self-confidence - the very coherence that is
everywhere around us abundantly demonstrated. What our species has
deemed to be superior is, according to Tobias and Morrison, the
cumulative result of a tragically tenuous argument predicated on
the brink of our species' self-destruction, giving rise to a most
unique proposition: We either recognize the miracle of other
sentient intelligence, sophistication, and genius, or risk
enshrining the shortest lived epitaph of any known vertebrate in
earth's 4.1 billion years of life. Tobias and Morrison draw on 45
years of research in fields ranging from ecological anthropology,
animal protection and comparative ethics to literature and
spirituality - and beyond. They deploy research in animal and plant
behavior, biocultural heritage contexts from every continent and
they bring to bear a deeply metaphysical array of perspectives that
set this book apart from any other. The book departs from most work
in such fields as animal rights, ecological aesthetics, comparative
ethology or traditional animal and plant behaviorist work, and yet
it speaks to readers with an interest in those fields. A deeply
provocative book of philosophical premises and hypotheses from two
of the world's most influential ecological philosophers, this text
is likely to stir uneasiness and debate for many decades to come.
