Theorymdash;an embattled discourse for decadesmdash;faces a new challenge from those who want to model the methods of all scholarly disciplines on the sciences. What is urgently needed; says D. N. Rodowick; is a revitalized concept of theory that can assess the limits of scientific explanation and defend the unique character of humanistic understanding.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Belle bookBy Martin PThis book lends a restorative power to what we too often think of as base; dumb beasts. Its all too easy to think of ourselves as the dominant (and thereby) better species; but I think a book like this helps remind us that we arent necessarily the most beautiful or best animal out there; but rather that weve been granted the gift unique of recognizing beauty in the world.From cats to cows to camels; a book like this helps us to recognise the beauty of our fellow animals and reveals artists interests in such `beasts throughout the ages.
