{"product_id":"9781350012011","title":"The History of Animals: A Philosophy by Oxana Timofeeva","description":"Oxana Timofeeva's The History of Animals: A Philosophy is an original and ambitious treatment of the \"animal question\". While philosophers have always made distinctions between human beings and animals, Timofeeva imagines a world free of such walls and borders. Timofeeva shows the way towards the full acceptance of our animality; an acceptance which does not mean the return to our animal roots, or anything similar. The freedom generated by this acceptance operates through negativity; is an effect of the rejection of the very core of metaphysical philosophy and Christian culture, traditionally opposed to our `animal' nature and seemingly detached from it.   With a foreword by Slavoj Zizek, this book is accessible, jargon-free and ideal for students and all those interested in re-imagining how we engage with animals and the environment.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312210260341,"sku":"9781350012011","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350012011.jpg?v=1762821028","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781350012011","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
