Stephen R L Clark - The Political Animal: Biology, Ethics And Politics

Description

In The Political Animal Stephen Clark investigates the political nature of the human animal. Based on biological science and traditional ethics, he probes into areas of inquiry that are usually ignored by traditional political theory. He suggests that properly informed political philosophy must take the role of women and children more seriously, and must be prepared to face up to the ethnocentric and domineering tendencies of the human animal.

Reviews

“

Nobody has thought harder than Stephen Clark about what political philosophy would look like if it took animals seriously. He is concerned with two projects: including in our politics the treatment of other animals, and acknowledging the fact that we humans are animals and so may better flourish in a society suitable for the animals that we are. Unlike many across the political spectrum, he is aware that these projects are linked.. –-Seth Crook, Social Theory and Practice Stephen Clark is like a mini-holiday from the mundane and the predictable . . . This book is a delight. –Bernard E. Rollin, Colorado State University Stephen Clark's book is immensely welcome . . . He gives a fresh and most useful slant to a whole range of apparently familiar topics--anarchism, nationalism, environmentalism, slavery, and above all perhaps the meaning of family. Read him. –Mary Midgley, author of Beast and Man The Political Animal shows the very great interest that a biological/ethological approach to politics can have. It is an extremely-thought-provoking study, a valuable contribution to political theory. –Cora Diamond, University of Virginia
