This book begins from Merleau-Ponty's descriptions of the origins of animal desire, then advocates for transformation of the human-animal relation in a manner that pushes further toward ethical conclusions than did Merleau-Ponty himself. Shifting from analysis first in an aesthetic, then in an ethical, and finally in an ethico-religious register, with contemporary environmental concerns in mind, it charts a path for healing the human-animal relation both within, with respect to one's own animality, and without, with respect to animals of other species, based on the maturation of desire from eros to environmental responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47594070179991,"sku":"9781399544375","price":12965.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781399544375.webp?v=1774984584","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/merleau-ponty-and-the-human-animal-relation-from-eros-to-environmental-responsibility-9781399544375","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
