This volume offers a new translation of Plutarch's three treatises
on animals-On the Cleverness of Animals, Whether Beasts Are
Rational, and On Eating Meat-accompanied by introductions and
explanatory commentaries. The accompanying commentaries are
designed not only to elucidate the meaning of the Greek text, but
to call attention to Plutarch's striking anticipations of arguments
central to current philosophical and ethological discourse in
defense of the position that non-human animals have intellectual
and emotional dimensions that make them worthy of inclusion in the
moral universe of human beings. Plutarch's Three Treatises on
Animals will be of interest to students of ancient philosophy and
natural science, and to all readers who wish to explore the history
of thought on human-non-human animal relations, in which the animal
treatises of Plutarch hold a pivotal position.
