Coming up to date, Stephen Moore's collection Divinanimality goes straight to the intrinsic worth argument - on spiritual and religious grounds. The title (from the French philosopher Jacques Derrida) sees animals collectively as 'radically other' in ways akin to the 'radical otherness' of God, so as to position humans and animals within a shared sphere of mutual respect and care.\" -Adam Roberts, New Scientist CULTURELAB \"This is an excellent volume, written with clarity, precision, and deep feeling for a better understanding of the sacred character of animal beings within the wider natural world.\" -- -Mark Wallace Swarthmore College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Laurel Kearns        Acknowledgments        Introduction: From Animal Theory to Creaturely Theology      Stephen D.
