'Different Beasts' explores conceptions of animality and humanity as they emerge in the writings of Spinoza and in the ancient Chinese text known as the Zhuangzi. The project thus brings together works from distant and different pasts to bear on debates regarding the human-animal binary in its many constructions. It also investigates what is at stake in the formation of responsible comparison - one that is contextually grounded and refined in detail - to understand how the complex machinery behind the human-animal binary operates in different philosophical systems.
