Because animal rights activism has hitherto been characterized by an abstract moralism, Maurizi proposes instead a historical-materialist analysis of the relationship between humans and non-human animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy contrasting the thinking of Hegel, Marx, and the Frankfurt School with classical authors in the field of animal rights (such as Singer, Regan, and Francione) this text offers an alternative, social, and dialectical theory of animality and a different practical approach to the problem of animal suffering. The hopes for change placed in veganism, liberationism and animal activism are here assumed in a political, revolutionary perspective, in which human and animal liberation finally cease to oppose each other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1  The Soul of Animals under Socialism\u003cbr\u003e 2  Did You Say ‘Dialectics’?\u003cbr\u003e 3  Singer \u0026amp; Sons\u003cbr\u003e 4  Against Animal Liberation Ideology\u003cbr\u003e 5  Critical Failures\u003cbr\u003e 6  Hegelian Animal Spirits\u003cbr\u003e 7  The Structure of the Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1 Critique of Animal Liberation Ideology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 What Is Antispeciesism?\u003cbr\u003e 1  Three Different Definitions\u003cbr\u003e 2  A Sociological Fallacy\u003cbr\u003e 3  Metaphysical and Historical Antispeciesism\u003cbr\u003e 4  Animal Liberation and Human Liberation?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 On the Genesis of Speciesism\u003cbr\u003e 1  The Ambiguity of Speciesism\u003cbr\u003e 2  The Origin of Speciesism\u003cbr\u003e 3  How?\u003cbr\u003e 4  Speciesism and Human Liberation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Animal Right Activism and Its Discontents\u003cbr\u003e 1  Two Forms of Praxis: Conflict and Inclusion\u003cbr\u003e 2  Conflict\u003cbr\u003e 3  Inclusion\u003cbr\u003e 4  The ‘Bottom-Up’ Change Is a Disguised Hierarchical Change\u003cbr\u003e 5  Veganism Is Not a Mode of Production\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 2 Marxism and Animal Liberation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 Marxism and Animal Rights\u003cbr\u003e 1  One Struggle?\u003cbr\u003e 2  Animal Rights vs. Marx\u003cbr\u003e 3  The Role of Animals in Marxism\u003cbr\u003e 4  The Real Problem: Animal Alienation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Marxism and the Repression of Nature\u003cbr\u003e 1  Animal and Capital\u003cbr\u003e 2  History and Natural History in Marx and Engels\u003cbr\u003e 3  From Primitive Communism to the Early States\u003cbr\u003e 4  Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 The Dialectical Animal\u003cbr\u003e 1  Animality and Anthropopoiesis\u003cbr\u003e 2  From the Institute for Social Research to the ‘Frankfurt School’\u003cbr\u003e 3  From Nature to Animals\u003cbr\u003e 4  The Structure of Domination\u003cbr\u003e 5  The Specific Role of Animals in the General Scheme of Domination\u003cbr\u003e 6  The Dialectical Animal\u003cbr\u003e 7  Materialistic Solidarity\u003cbr\u003e 8  A New ‘Dialectics of Nature’\u003cbr\u003e 9  The Reconciliation of Nature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 3 Conclusion: Beyond Nature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7 Towards a Post-Neolithic Society\u003cbr\u003e 1  Materialism and Technē\u003cbr\u003e 2  Universal History as a Catastrophe\u003cbr\u003e 3  The Universal Human Being and the Enlarged Animal Society\u003cbr\u003e 4  Rien faire comme une bête\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 The Aporetic Nature of the Theory\/Praxis Opposition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilogue: Antispeciesism and Anticapitalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359881527639,"sku":"9781642597813","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642597813.jpg?v=1754125997","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/beyond-nature-animal-liberation-marxism-and-critical-theory-9781642597813","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
