The Anthropological Difference deals with the animal mind in early modern philosophy and the problem of the anthropological difference between humans and animals. Starting from Montaigne’s defence of animal reason and proceeding via Descartes’ rejection of an animal soul to Hume’s naturalistic viewpoint of our mind, our occupation with animals is shown to be an occupation with ourselves.
