What makes the human animal exceptional? Do other animals have reason? Language? Emotions? Can they be moral or just? In this thought-provoking book, Newmyer examines both the various ways in which Greek and Roman authors confirmed or challenged the idea of human exceptionalism, and how anthropocentrism is a central component of current debates on human-animal relations. Suitable for a wide audience, the book helpfully presents the complexity of ancient and contemporary thinking on the human-animal divide. - Dr Daniella Widdows, Hampden-Sydney College, USA "This book is about the topos of "Man alone of animals" created in the classical Greek World. ... The works concludes with a reflection on ancient science anthropocentrism and its survival through history." - Touwaide, Byzantinische Zeitschrift issue 110 (= 2017/4).
