Animality in Contemporary Italian Philosophy, 1st ed. 2020 The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Cimatti Felice, Salzani Carlo

Couverture de l’ouvrage Animality in Contemporary Italian Philosophy
This volume provides an overview of contemporary Italian philosophy from the perspective of animality. Its rationale rests on two main premises: the great topicality of both Italian contemporary philosophy (the so-called ?Italian Theory?) and of the animal question (the so-called ?animal turn? in the humanities and the social sciences) in the contemporary philosophical panorama. The volume not only intersects these two axes, illuminating Italian Theory through the animal question, but also proposes an original thesis: that the animal question is a central and founding issue of contemporary Italian philosophy. It combines historical-descriptive chapters with analyses of the theme in several philosophical branches, such as biopolitics, Posthumanism, Marxism, Feminism, Antispeciesism and Theology, and with original contributions by renowned authors of contemporary Italian (animal) philosophy. The volume is both historical-descriptive and speculative and is intended for a broad academic audience, embracing both Italian studies and Animal studies at all levels.
