Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
German biologist Jakob von Uexküll focused on how an animal, through its behavioral relations, both impacts and is impacted by its own unique environment. Onto-Ethologies traces the influence of Uexküll's ideas on the thought of Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Gilles Deleuze, as they explore how animal behavior might be said to approximate, but also differ from, human behavior. It is the relation between animal and environment that interests Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze, and yet it is the differences in their approach to Uexküll (and to concepts such as world, body, and affect) that prove so fascinating. This book explores the ramifications of these encounters, including how animal life both broadens and deepens the ontological significance of their respective philosophies.

This review is from: Onto-ethologies: The Animal Environments of Uexknll, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze (SUNY series in Environmental Philosophy and Ethics) (Paperback)
This is a well written and well researched book. I highly recommend it in order to become familiar with the current work on animal life that refers back to Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Deleuze, and their appropriations of Uexkull. Probably the most penetrating chapters are on Heidegger.
