Creatures Like Us? Book

As a child brought up among animals, Lynne Sharpe never doubted they were essentially ?creatures like us?. It came as a shock to learn that others did not agree. Here she exposes the bizarre way in which many philosophers ? including even some great and humane ones ? have repeatedly talked and written about animals. They have discussed the topic in terms of non-existent abstract ?animals?, conceived as defective humans, entirely neglecting the experience of people who have wide practical knowledge of companion animals ? such as horses and dogs ? through working with them. She testifies to the interesting nature of these creatures? lives, noting that the usual narrow approach to animals carries with it also a distorted notion of human life as essentially cerebral and language-centred.Read More
