Animals, Empathy, and Anthropomorphism: The Limits of Imagination (The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series)

Carlo Salzani

4.9/5 (28148 ratings)

Description:This open access book explores the role of imagination in animal ethics and its constitutive links to empathy/sympathy and anthropomorphism. The book argues for the constitutive role of imagination in ethical deliberation, but acknowledges that there exist important limits to its use. However, “limit” is here understood not merely negatively as restriction and insufficiency, but rather positively as “condition of possibility,” so what the book explores and analyses are the conditions for a positive and fruitful use of the imagination in ethics. The book uses as a “frame” the questions and issues raised in J.M. Coetzee’s The Lives of Animals to explore some central and salient themes.Reviews“In this bracing book, Salzani assays the prime methods ushered in by the affective turn in animal ethics, namely imagination and empathy, and sets their appropriate scope. He also makes a significant contribution here to the long-lasting discussion in animal studies on anthropomorphism. Using philosophic theory and literature as touchstones, the book brings home the enabling yet finite preconditions of thinking and feeling animality in ontology and ethics.” (Ralph Acampora, Professor of Philosophy, Hofstra University, USA)“In this remarkably engaging new book, Carlo Salzani appreciates (and integrates) the rich ethical strains of anthrozoology but plants his feet in the more free-ranging realm of imaginative discourse. He does not construe philosophical and creative writing as antithetical but he does find them different, and privileges the imagination while still thoughtfully attending to the theorists. Salzani warns that we “sometimes have to take a great leap indeed” when we springboard out of the imaginative inquires and inspirations. These leaps are exactly what make his project so exciting. While profusely descriptive of the various pathways he creates, Salzani remains admirably openminded in declining to delineate the ultimate answers. “Negotiating the limits of imagination is an open-ended endeavor that needs to be continuously renewed and reinvented,” he explains, and I can think of no better guide for that project than this book.” (Randy Malamud, Regents’ Professor of English, Georgia State University)“Carlo Salzani’s focus on the underexamined role of the moral imagination in ethical knowledge fills a void in ethic-of-care theory. Erudite, deeply researched, and gracefully written, Animals, Empathy and Anthropomorphism: The Limits of the Imagination opens up important new ways of thinking about ethical comprehension. I highly recommend it.” (Josephine Donovan, Author of “Animals, Mind, and Matter; The Aesthetics of Care: On the Literary Treatment of Animals”; and other works)From the Back Cover"Carlo Salzani’s focus on the underexamined role of the moral imagination in ethical knowledge fills a void in ethic-of-care theory.
