Divinanimality by Stephen D Moore
This volume is the first full-length attempt from within the fields of theological and biblical studies to grapple with the turn to the animal currently underway in the humanities, a turn catalyzed in part by the animality theory that has issued from such thinkers as Jacques Derrida and Donna Haraway.
An outstanding and important piece of collective scholarship-- -Mary-Jane Rubenstein Wesleyan University The claim that non-existence is morally preferable to one that ends in premature abattoir death seems, at the least, debatable. Coming up to date, Stephen Moore's collection Divinanimality goes straight to the intrinsic worth argument - on spiritual and religious grounds. The title (from the French philosopher Jacques Derrida) sees animals collectively as 'radically other' in ways akin to the 'radical otherness' of God, so as to position humans and animals within a shared sphere of mutual respect and care. -Adam Roberts, New Scientist CULTURELAB This is an excellent volume, written with clarity, precision, and deep feeling for a better understanding of the sacred character of animal beings within the wider natural world. -- -Mark Wallace Swarthmore College
