About this book
Reviews
“Animality in Contemporary Italian Philosophy is in fact an important contribution as it introduces a large international audience to authors, ideas, and practices that have characterised (and still characterise) Italian thought, both challenging and enriching the current hegemonic discourses on animal ethics.” (Damiano Benvegnù, Italian Studies, Vol. 76 (3), 2021)
