This philosophically stimulating book provides fresh perspectives on a variety of topics, including: -Issues relating to the ethics of hunting -The experiences and perspectives of the hunter -The relationship of hunting to nature and human nature -Hunting in culture, politics, and tradition Hot on the trail of one of the most controversial issues in contemporary society, Hunting – Philosophy for Everyone is a stereotype-shattering volume that invites us to think deeply about what it means to be human.
