The Political Animal shows the very great interest that a biological/ethological approach to politics can have. It is an extremely-thought-provoking study, a valuable contribution to political theory. <br>-Cora Diamond, University of Virginia <br> Nobody has thought harder than Stephen Clark about what political philosophy would look like if it took animals seriously. He is concerned with two projects: including in our politics the treatment of other animals, and acknowledging the fact that we humans are animals and so may better flourish in a society suitable for the animals that we are. Unlike many across the political spectrum, he is aware that these projects are linked.. <br>--Seth Crook, Social Theory and Practice <br> Stephen Clark's book is immensely welcome . . . He gives a fresh and most useful slant to a whole range of apparently familiar topics--anarchism, nationalism, environmentalism, slavery, and above all perhaps the meaning of family. Read him. <br>-Mary Midgley, author of Beast and Man <br> Stephen Clark is like a mini-holiday from the mundane and the predictable . . . This book is a delight. <br>-Bernard E. Rollin, Colorado State University <br>
