AUTHOR-APPROVED NO SERIES PANEL Of Jews and Animals Andrew Benjamin 'Andrew Benjamin has written an original and provocative meditation on the place of the "figure" of the animal in modern philosophy and culture. The book is remarkable for its sensitivity to the issue of visibility and the use of visual material. The engagement with the philosophical history of art is beautifully sustained and serves not only to work through the theme of figuration but also to make the philosophical narrative available to a wider range of readers.'

AUTHOR-APPROVED NO SERIES PANEL Of Jews and Animals Andrew Benjamin 'Andrew Benjamin has written an original and provocative meditation on the place of the "figure" of the animal in modern philosophy and culture. The book is remarkable for its sensitivity to the issue of visibility and the use of visual material. The engagement with the philosophical history of art is beautifully sustained and serves not only to work through the theme of figuration but also to make the philosophical narrative available to a wider range of readers.' Howard Caygill, Goldsmith's College, University of London 'A stimulating book which will help those readers who, interested in the work of Agamben and the late Derrida, wish to reflect more on the image of the animal in classical continental philosophy.' Peter Fenves, Department of German, Northwestern University /Investigates the relationship between philosophy, art and their presentation of both Jews and animals/ By developing his own conception of the 'figure', Andrew Benjamin makes clear the 'Other' is never abstract. He underscores the means by which the ethical imperative, arising from the way the history of philosophy and the history of art are constructed, shows us how to respond to an already identified, even if unacknowledged, determinant other. Andrew Benjamin is Professor of Critical Theory and Philosophical Aesthetics and Director of the Research Unit in European Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts at Monash University.
