This book examines human relationships with pets without assuming that such relations are either unnatural and to be avoided, or benign. We need to find ways to relate respectfully. For respectful relationships to be a real possibility, though, humans must make the effort to understand the beings with whom they live, work, and play.
Erin McKenna is Professor of Philosophy at Pacific Lutheran University. She is the co-editor of Animal Pragmatism: Rethinking Human–Nonhuman Relationships (with Andrew Light) and the co-author (with Scott Pratt) of Jimmy Buffett and Philosophy: The Porpoise Driven Life.
This book brings useful ideas to the pursuit of an open dialogue on animal well being. . .
Insightful and appealing reading that presents many curious questions on the concepts of human nature, "Pets, People, and Pragmatism" is a strongly recommended addition to pets and sociology collections.
