Review
Alongside Mary Midgley, Stephen Clark is our best writer on animals and our proper relationship to them. He writes with enormous erudition, intelligence and controlled passion.
–David E. Cooper, University of Durham
Anything Stephen Clark writes is gilt-edged, highly credible, invariably highly original and always insightful. He is a wonderful prose stylist.
–Bernard Rollin, Colorado State University
Stephen Clarke's writings on our relation to non-humans are always original and important. The collection will be welcomed by all those philosophers and others interested in this area.
–Roger Crisp, St Anne's College, Oxford
. . .stimulating, original, insightful -- a contribution as much to our understanding of ourselves as it is to our understanding of how we should think about animals and how we should treat them.
–Cora Diamond, University of Virginia
A stimulating collection of his essays from 1978 to 1994, Clark offers a sterling defense of animal rights.

Product Description
Meister Eckhart (c. 1260 - 1327/8) is one of the great Christian mystics. In the language of the Christian tradition Eckhart expounds the eternal mysteries in a style that is fresh and original in the best sense. Through the vividness of his use of imagery (alluding to the mysteries of the spark of the soul, the Abyss, the desert, the birth of the Word in the heart, etc.) Eckhart paradoxically directs us to that which lies beyond image. The depth and universality of Eckhart's teaching has drawn seekers of truth Christian and non-Christian alike.
