(2010) Intersections in Christianity and critical theory, Dordrecht, Springer.
This chapter sets its sights on an analysis of animate "Otherness' as it has developed in critical theory from the Frankfurt School to the late twentieth century.1 I argue that European philosophy's minimal contribution to animal welfare discourse draws our attention to specific weaknesses in its conceptualization of human existence, despite its well known radical critique of humanism. I explore these issues by drawing upon Christian understandings of communality and dominion.
