IJE is soliciting unpublished, original manuscripts for its volume 10(1) May 2025, "ANIMALIA," human-animal  <<<:>>> non-human animal relations, here inspired by the words of Tom Tyler:

​

From an Interview with Tom Tyler (2018), in Animal and Society Institute:

​

“Rejecting this notion that humans are some kind of self-evident norm, rejecting what we might call an anthroponormative starting point, and thinking instead in terms of multiple, varied collectivities, is important because relinquishing the idea of an exclusive, uniform, unifying human identity helps to open more inclusive, more sophisticated, more nuanced ways of thinking about ethics, and to move away from those who rely on this rather blunt, chauvinistic human exceptionalism.

​

[…] it is important to properly think through the implications of the fact that humans are animals, and not entirely separate from the rest of the world. To ignore or suppress or deny the fact of human animality—and I don’t mean by that, of course, the kind of senseless, shameless, wild beastliness described by Socrates—is to assume as your intellectual starting point a shallow, unreflective human exceptionalism. To fail to address these aspects of human-animal interaction and identity, explicitly and extensively, is to fail to grasp what the humanities and the social sciences are.” (2, 4)
