Synopsis

This book is to free the humanities from their anthropocentric frame and explore how they might instead deepen our understanding of animals' lives and points of view. By decentering human concerns and foregrounding animals' perceptual and cognitive worlds, it urges us to "unlearn" no more and no less than our species' arrogance.
