Reviews
This is a well-curated collection that both addresses long-standing issues in the animalist debate and reveals new facets of them. It is clear enough for those who are new to the conversation and deep enough for those who are not. * Allison Krile Thornton *
This volume is the first of its kind: a collection of articles focusing specifically on the Animalist theory of personal identity. ... It is essential reading for anyone working on personal identity, and should be read by anyone interested in the fundamental question as to what kind of thing we human persons are. ... Animalism is a superb collection, packed full of excellent chapters. To anyone interested in Animalism and related topics, this book could not be more highly recommended. * Alexander P. Moran, Philosophy in Review *
