Western conceptions of objectivity and individuality have resulted
in a readier appreciation of the worth of the animals and nature
than has been recognized. This provocative book takes issue with
the popular view that the Western cultural tradition, in contrast
to Eastern and Aboriginal traditions, has encouraged attitudes of
domination and exploitation towards nature, particularly animals.
Preece argues that the Western tradition has much to commend it,
and that descriptions of Aboriginal and Oriental orientations have
often been misleadingly rosy, simplified and codified according to
current fashionable concepts. Animals and Nature is the result of
six years' intensive study into comparative religion, literature,
philosophy, anthropology, mythology and animal welfare science.
