Utilizing methods inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein, the contributors to this volume explore this area in a variety of ways.  Topics discussed include:   * scientific vs. non-scientific ways of describing human and animal behaviour * the ethics of eating particular animal species * human nature, emotions, and instinctive reactions * responses of wonder towards the natural world * the moral relevance of literature * the concept of dignity * the question of whether non-human animals can use language  This book will be of great value to anyone interested in philosophical and interdisciplinary issues concerning language, ethics and humanity's relation to animals and the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn sum the anthology is highly recommendable and achieves the aim to offer new ways of thinking about moral conceptual aspects of human-animal relationships, philosophical methodology and advancement of Wittgensteinian topics. -- Yuliya Fadeeva * Ethical Theory and Moral Practice *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements Notes on Contributors  Introduction \u003ci\u003eNiklas Forsberg\u003c\/i\u003e  1.
