This article is a review of Tom Tyler’s CIFERAE: A Bestiary in Five Fingers, a timely and crucial contribution to critical animal studies scholarship. CIFERAE is a remarkable and careful analysis of epistemological anthropocentrism+in particular, what Tyler calls a "first-and-foremost anthropocentrism"--and the ways in which animals "figure" in the history of Western thought. Moreover, the text prompts a critique of "the human" and the formation of the "we." As such, Tyler’s philosophical investigation or bestiary pertains not only to theories of knowledge, but it holds significant ethical and political implications
