According to Calarco, this confrontation will undoubtedly use philosophy to enact change. As part of a larger shift in philosophic and literary studies which emphasizes the similarities between humans and animals, Calarco opts for the adjective “more-thanhuman” to describe animals. The point is to turn human exceptionalism on its head. Just as Plutarch’s “Gryllus,” which Calarco focuses on in the fifth chapter, explains how animals are often far better at embodying so-called human virtues, we ought to recognize the way animals often exceed human capabilities. Calarco cites Barbara Smuts for the term “more-than-human world,” which Smuts herself originally borrowed from a 1996 book by David Abram titled The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World. The use of “more-than-human” becomes a little confusing at times in Calarco’s book, especially because it is occasionally used alongside “nonhuman animals” and “other-than-human beings.” In Chapter 9, for example, which focuses on Nietzsche’s Übermensch—a term already bearing suprahuman implications— Calarco will juggle all three terms while also adding to the list Nietzsche’s notion of the “all-too-human.” Regardless, Calarco’s belief in philosophy’s ability to enact change is refreshing, as is his writing. The bite-sized chapters pack impressive summaries of key philosophers who write on animals and place them inside contemporary ecological conversations and against contemporary concerns. Other chapters focus on Jainism, Kant, Bentham, and Derrida. The book predominantly caters to a popular audience in accordance with Calarco’s belief that philosophy figures prominently in the effort to change human-animal relationships. Thus the book is an excellent introduction and survey of philosophical studies on animals while also providing novel and unexplored connections that other experts can certainly sink their teeth into.

Abstract:The Tasmanian salmon industry has become one of the state's most profitable industries to date. Though production conditions notoriously lack transparency, there is a clear dependency on the mass production of complex nonhuman animals who are kept in inappropriate conditions and subject to harmful industry practices. This article explores why the Tasmanian Environmental Protection Agency recently approved the construction of the largest salmon hatchery in Australia, despite serious environmental sustainability and welfare concerns. It considers the likely impact of the new hatchery on the welfare of both the farmed nonhuman animals and the surrounding free-ranging life and advocates for industry improvements that are guided by considerations of nonhuman animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

sense of empathy between humans and nonhumans, often oscillating between sincere participation and humour noir. A good example of the latter is a short poem that narrates the escape of a bull from the slaughterhouse. Instead of being an account of idealistic freedom, the bull is understandably scared in the urban traffic and, while the workers—including the author—chase him “branding knives / stun rods and beer,” the nonhuman creature finds a moment of solace when “he lies on a thin veil of grass / and whispers something to the flies” (p. 36). The former is instead more pervasive and involves portraying death as a nexus, where human and nonhuman embodiments meet and exchange “in the race to the absolute” (p. 28). This sense of sharing a common experience of physical vulnerability is the protagonist of the short pieces that end the volume, collected under the subtitle “The Death-Wife.” In this series of short poems Ferrari published in 2013, the illness and eventual death of the poet’s wife triggers a process of becoming animal that is not degrading but—as Gilebbi remarks in his introduction—so intimate “that any interspecific separation fades to give way to the images of humans and animals existing, feeling, suffering, and dying in the same manner” (p. 17). Slaughterhouse is a powerful and uncomfortable book, and we must thank Gilebbi for translating Ferrari’s poetry into English for the first time. This slim volume challenges in fact not only how we farm and consume animal flesh but also all the unspoken emotions we might have about both our right to kill other animals and the justifications we give ourselves when we do it. In poetically bearing witness to the slaughterhouse from the inside, Ferrari’s poems make it impossible for us to attribute the horror of butchering animals exclusively to others. Instead, they force readers to acknowledge that, either practically or through a set of shared cultural assumptions, we all participate in it. Yet, such a discomforting testimony also suggests that another form of participation is perhaps possible, one in which the label “animal” is not a sign of degradation but the first step toward a deeper convergence among different finite beings.

Abstract:Ethical and theological concern for nonhuman animals has been a primary characteristic of the neo-Vaiṣṇava movement of Assam, India. This concern is reflected in its strict prohibition of blood sacrifice or any kind of cruelty toward animals. At the same time, theologically, this faith puts all living beings, human and nonhuman, on an equal ontological footing and urges its followers to see God in all creatures. The present article looks at some of these concerns/considerations of this faith for nonhuman animals and, at the same time, also takes into account neo-Vaiṣṇavism's historical backdrop and a few of its inner contradictions.

Abstract:This article puts Buddhist moral phenomenology in dialogue with ethical veganism to propose a new way of thinking about animal ethics. It first defines ethical veganism and outlines Buddhist moral phenomenology before articulating what a moral phenomenological approach to ethical veganism looks like. It then provides some examples of this approach to ethical veganism in both Tibetan and Western settings to demonstrate its viability. It concludes by thinking through some of the implications of a moral phenomenological approach to ethical veganism and argues that moral phenomenology is an exemplary mode of understanding and establishing ethical veganism.
