«Qui sont les animaux ?» is a collective essay edited by Jean Birnbaum, published by Gallimard in paperback (261 pages, in French).
It gathers some of the debates from the Le Mans Forum, held in November 2009, on the relationship between humans and animals. It analyses the Cartesian legacy of the 'animal-machine', research in ethology and palaeoanthropology, and the possibility of rethinking the boundary between species and human responsibility towards animals.
It is part of the Folio Essais collection and brings together contributions from Philippe Descola, Vinciane Despret, Élisabeth de Fontenay and Michel Pastoureau, among others.
A work for readers interested in philosophy and the contemporary debate on animals and their place in society.
