Being human signifies a departure from animalistic existence, a transcendence beyond mere animal nature. In his exploration, Felice Cimatti, drawing upon the insights of Gilles Deleuze, delves into the concept of human animality. He reveals that embracing an animalistic nature involves relinquishing the notion that humanity holds the central position in nature and the world. Instead, our value as humans becomes equal to that of clouds, rocks, or spiders. Cimatti employs a diverse range of texts, spanning from philosophical ethology to classical literature, continental philosophy, and even works by authors such as Flaubert, Derrida, Temple Grandin, Heidegger, Malaparte, and Landolfi, to engage in a captivating dialogue about human essence and the enigmatic aspect of our unknown animality. Through this intricate discussion, Cimatti offers a profound exploration of our humanity and the enigmatic depths of our animal nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 331g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474443401\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Felice Cimatti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096208961786,"sku":"9781474443401","price":17.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1647337978300_book.jpg?v=1647356510","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/unbecoming-human-philosophy-of-animality-after-deleuze-9781474443401","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
