Anthropocentrism and Reason in Dialectic of Enlightenment:Environmental Crisis and Animal Subject André KrebberIndex.
This collection explores assumptions behind the label 'anthropocentrism', critically enquiring into the meaning of 'human'. It addresses epistemological and ontological problems in charges of anthropocentrism, questioning the inherent anthropocentrism of all human perspectives, while seeking 'other' views that trump anthropocentrism.
