Publisher's Note
BEING HUMAN examines the complex connections among conceptions of human nature, attitudes toward nonhuman nature, and ethics. Anna Peterson proposes an "ethical anthropology" that examines how ideas of nature and humanity are bound together in ways that shape the very foundations of cultures.
Beginning with Western interpretations, Peterson examines the Christian and Enlightenment based attitudes that assume an unbridgeable gap between human and non human aspects of nature. She goes on to explore challenges to these models posed by Asian worldviews; by Native American traditions such as the Navajo and Koyukon cultures; and by feminist ethics concerned with the narrative and relational quality of human and nonhuman nature as well as of ethical theory itself.
