Beskrivning

Historically, grief and spirituality have been jealously guarded as uniquely human attributes. Although nonhuman animal grief has been acknowledged in recent times, the potency of the feeling has not been recognised as equal to human grief. Both academic and popular discussions continue to be tainted by anthropocentric philosophical questions.

Recensioner i media

"[The book is] not only a well-crafted study of animals, humans, and their many channels of emotional attachment, it’s a powerful intervention within the humanities more broadly – the dramatic unveiling, promised by the title, of the urgent necessity of taking the animal perspective seriously for understanding both nonhuman and human lifeways."
