"The Political Animal shows the very great interest that a
biological/ethological approach to politics can have. It is an
extremely-thought-provoking study, a valuable contribution to
political theory."
-Cora Diamond, University of Virginia
"Nobody has thought harder than Stephen Clark about what political
philosophy would look like if it took animals seriously. He is
concerned with two projects: including in our politics the
treatment of other animals, and acknowledging the fact that we
humans are animals and so may better flourish in a society suitable
for the animals that we are. Unlike many across the political
spectrum, he is aware that these projects are linked.."
--Seth Crook, "Social Theory and Practice
"Stephen Clark's book is immensely welcome . . . He gives a fresh
and most useful slant to a whole range of apparently familiar
topics--anarchism, nationalism, environmentalism, slavery, and
above all perhaps the meaning of family. Read him."
-Mary Midgley, author of "Beast and Man
"Stephen Clark is like a mini-holiday from the mundane and the
predictable . . . This book is a delight."
-Bernard E. Rollin, Colorado State University
