Dumb Beasts and Dead Philosophers: Humanity and the Humane in Ancient Philosophy and Literature
Osborne, Catherine (University of East Anglia)

Catherine Osborne argues that by reflecting on the work of the ancient philosophers and poets, we can see when and how we lost touch with the natural intelligence of dumb animals.
