Mensch Und Tier in Der Antike: Grenzziehung Und Grenzuberschreitung

The relationship between humans and animals has undergone a paradigm shift, caused by new technologies and discourses. In the general view, the dividing line between the human and animal mind and body has become less rigid. This volume, originating from a 2005 conference that gathered an international group of philosophers and historians of antiquity, studies the ancient views of the boundaries between humans and animals and the overcoming of these boundaries. The main focus is on the literary and illustrative conceptions representing these views. German text.
