- Summary:
- As human beings, what is our true relationship to the animals on earth? What is our responsibility to our fellow creatures? Douglas Sloan explores these and other questions in this important book on the human-animal connection. His explorations are based on personal experience and wide-ranging research into the work of Rudolf Steiner and others, including scientist students of the inner life of animals and committed defenders of animal wellbeing. In exploring these and related questions with the help of Rudolf Steiner's work and that of others on the issue, we can begin to see the importance in our time of our relating to the animals in a completely new way-a relationship that understands and respects the animals' inner spiritual being, and one that requires a deep grasp of our own spiritual being in relation to theirs.
