"Beyond sentience" chapter revised

A few days ago Jonathan Beever and I finished revising our jointly written paper "Beyond sentience: Biosemiotics as foundation for animal and environmental ethics" (see previous posts), which is to appear in John Hadley and Elisa Aaltola (eds), Animal ethics and Philosophy: Questioning the Orthodoxy (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers), scheduled for publication in December this year. The revision involved shortening the chapter to 7.000 words while at the same time trying to improve argumentation. We thus ended up both adding text and shortening the narrative.
