Four books, four routes into the philosophical work.
01
How can concern for individual animals meet responsibility for the ecological relationships that sustain them? An inquiry into continuity between human and non-human life, in dialogue with Mary Midgley, enactivism and pragmatism.
02
A route through the concepts and conflicts of environmental ethics: animals, ecosystems, justice, care and value. Twenty-five chapters introduce competing theories and test what they mean for decisions.
03
Memory preserves and transforms. Through Calvino’s autobiographical and Resistance writings, this book explores recollection, language, embodiment and identity at the meeting point of literature and the sciences of mind.
04
An introduction to Mary Midgley’s life and thought, bringing emotion, scientific understanding and responsibility towards living beings into conversation. Philosophy examines the concepts that shape experience and guide our choices.
