Review
Andrew Benjamin has written an original and provocative meditation on the place of the 'figure' of the animal in modern philosophy and culture. The book is remarkable for its sensitivity to the issue of visibility and the use of visual material. The engagement with the philosophical history of art is beautifully sustained and serves not only to work through the theme of figuration but also to make the philosophical narrative available to a wider range of readers. -- Howard Caygill, Goldsmith's College A stimulating book which will help those readers who, interested in the work of Agamben and the late Derrida, wish to reflect more on the image of the animal in classical continental philosophy. -- Peter Fenves, Northwestern University Andrew Benjamin has written an original and provocative meditation on the place of the 'figure' of the animal in modern philosophy and culture.

Product Description
Advancing his own conception of the "figure," Andrew Benjamin innovatively studies philosophy, the history of painting, and art's representation of Jews and animals. As Benjamin makes clear, the "other" is never an abstract concept. The means by which the ethical imperative, arising from the way in which the history of philosophy and the history of art are constructed, conditions us to respond to an already identified, though unacknowledged, determinant other. This is the first book to combine reflections on animals and Jews, engaging with philosophers such as Derrida and Agamben and offering original readings of paintings and art by Goya, Dürer, Rubens Van Eyck, Velasquez, and Turner.
