Reviews
Animal and Human Cognition offers fresh insights into a much-discussed topic.-- "Bulletin of the History of Medicine"
This volume makes an original contribution to the rising scholarship of the anthropological difference in early modern thinking and its intersection with philosophy, medicine, and other fields. This is serious, innovative, and rewarding international scholarship. It adds historical depth to the constantly growing and highly important global study of human-animal relations.-- "Markus Wild, University of Basel"
A very welcome addition to the growing literature that takes seriously medicine's importance in early modern thought. Touching on vital themes of human-animal relations not just in the histories of philosophy and medicine but in a variety of disciplines, this book deserves close and deep study.-- "Benjamin Goldberg, University of South Florida"
Human & Animal Cognition in Early Modern Philosophy & Medicine has much to offer to historians through its close philosophical examinations of what may be conceived as part of biology during the early modern period. . . .The essays beautifully speak across disciplinary approaches and breathe life into old questions. . . .The volume. . .is valuable for those historians of the life sciences interested in expanding their perspectives on the fascinating, messy, nuanced debates of the early modern period.-- "Journal of the History of Biology"
