L'antispécisme — la lutte contre toute discrimination fondée sur l'appartenance à une espèce animale — est plus explicitement politique que le végétarisme ou le véganisme, qui sont essentiellement des modes de vie. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, des communautés végétariennes et des groupes de pression ont lutté contre l'exploitation des animaux, mais c'est en Grande-Bretagne, au milieu du XXe siècle, qu'une autre forme de militantisme...

Desde entonces, y más aún con el nuevo contexto alumbrado tras la caída del bloque soviético en 1989 y con el auge del posmodernismo, todo compromiso de semejante índole se volvió sospechoso. Y, sin embargo, este nunca desapareció del horizonte de los intelectuales.
Esta ambiciosa obra, coral y pluridisciplinar,...

Contra la polarización en forma de tablero de ajedrez, un espacio donde sentir y pensar autónomamente. Contra la alternativa "esto o el caos", la valentía colectiva de los anónimos.
