Today I offered "Comments on the book with an eye to animal ethics and Human-Animal Studies" - the book being Alice Crary´s Inside ethics: On the demands of moral thought, released this Spring, as part of a 4 hour seminar devoted to the book held at University of Stavanger today. Cato Wittusen and myself organized the seminar, which was attended by some 10 people.
