The Animal I see the Person I am

In this talk Erich Linder explores how ordinary ways of conceiving animals—such as pets, patients, or vermin—matter for practical reason. He will illustrate three dimensions in which ordinary conceptions of animals provide a basis for self-understanding: the idiosyncratic, the social, and the existential.
