OVER THE HUMAN - ROBERTO MARCHESINI GEBUNDEN

This book presents a new way to understand human¿animal interactions. Offering a profound
discussion of topics such as human identity  our relationship with animals and the environment
and our culture  the author channels the vibrant Italian traditions of humanism  materialism 
and speculative philosophy.The research presents a dialogue between the humanities and the
natural sciences. It challenges the separation and oppression of animals with a post-humanism
steeped in the traditions of the Italian Renaissance.Readers discover a vision of the human as
a species informed by an intertwining with animals. The human being is not constructed by an
onto-poetic process  but rather by close relations with otherness. The human system is
increasingly unstable and  therefore  more hybrid.The argument it presents interests scholars 
thinkers  and researchers. It also appeals to anyone who wants to delve into the deep
animal¿human bond and its philosophical  cultural  political instances.The author is a
veterinarian  ethologist  and philosopher. He uses cognitive science  zooanthropology  and
philosophy to engage in a series of empirical  theoretical  and practice-based engagements with
animal life. In the process  he argues that animals are key to human identity and culture at
all levels.
