Thinking about Animals in Thirteenth-Century Paris
Professionally trained theologians differed on so many things, so why, Ian P. Wei asks, should they have agreed on animals? But just as they shared certain fundamental theological tenets—the divinity of Christ, and so on—so too they shared certain fundamental tenets about animals, chiefly, that, unlike us, they had no rational soul and no hope of resurrection.

How to Make a Human
Derrida's late investigations into the question of the animal chart a path past the persistent humanism of Lacan, Heidegger, Levinas, and animal rights philosophy; they also identify the essential role the subjugation of animals plays in human self-conception. This self-conception, an inheritance from the Christian Middle Ages, suffuses the Middle English encyclopedia Sidrak and Bokkus, whose popularity and ideological conservatism suits it for i…
