Die Grenze zwischen Mensch und Tier gehört zu den zeitlosen Themen der Kulturgeschichte. Szenarien der Grenzüberschreitung finden sich von den Anfängen der Menschheit über Antike und Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit hinein. Erst seitdem der Mensch durch die Evolutionstheorie real zum Tier geworden ist, haben die bedrohlichen Phantasmen an Geltung verloren. Im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert verhandeln literarische Texte, Antikenroman, Heldenepik und höfischer Roman, mehr oder minder komplexe Konstellationen des Verhältnisses von Mensch und Tier. Udo Friedrich untersucht die theologischen, politischen und literarischen Vorstellungen von Grenzziehung und Grenzüberschreitung in dieser Zeit und arbeitet die rivalisierenden Zeichenordnungen, Narrative und Strategien heraus, die von geistlichen und weltlichen Positionen entworfen wurden.

Tiere faszinieren - und das nicht erst seit sie als Helden von Zoo- und anderen Tiergeschichten die Medien erobern. Heute wird das Tier entweder zum Gebrauchs- und Verbrauchsobjekt degradiert oder als "besserer Mensch" gefeiert. Im Mittelalter dagegen ist der Kontakt zum Tier als Nahrungsspender, Arbeitskraft, Transportmittel und Jagdobjekt bzw. -begleiter noch viel unmittelbarer. Die Zoologie ist noch nicht als eigene Wissenschaft etabliert. Das Verständnis vom Tier wird vielmehr von der christlichen Religion geprägt. Insofern sind Tiere auch in der Bildenden Kunst und Literatur vieldeutige Symbolträger. Der hier vorgelegte Band legt den Fokus ganz dezidiert auf das Tier als Gegenstand und vor allem als Medium der geistigen Erfassung von Welt und Mensch durch den mittelalterlichen Menschen. Ziel des interdisziplinär konzipierten Bandes ist es zu zeigen, wie das Tier in maßgeblichen mittelalterlichen Diskursen (Religion und Wissenschaft, Jagdalltag und Wappenwesen, Literatur und Kunst) zum Medium der Erkenntnis und Vergegenwärtigung, der Strukturierung und Ordnung sowie der Deutung und Bewältigung von Welt wird.

This book examines one of the most pressing cultural concerns that surfaced in the last decade - the question of the place and significance of the animal. This collection of essays represents the outcome of various conversations regarding animal studies and shows multidisciplinarity at its very best, namely, a rigorous approach within one discipline in conversation with others around a common theme. The contributors discuss the most relevant disciplines regarding this conversation, namely: philosophy, anthropology, religious studies, theology, history of religions, archaeology and cultural studies. The first section, Thinking about Animals, explores philosophical, anthropological and religious perspectives, raising general questions about the human perception of animals and its crucial cultural significance. The second section explores the intriguing topic of the way animals have been used historically as religious symbols and in religious rituals. The third section re-examines some Christian theological and biblical approaches to animals in the light of current concerns. The final section extends the implications of traditional views about other animals to more specific ethical theories and practices.

Contrary to common assumptions, medieval and early modern writers and poets often addressed the high value of freedom, whether we think of such fable authors as Marie de France or Ulrich Bonerius. Similarly, medieval history knows of numerous struggles by various peoples to maintain their own freedom or political independence. Nevertheless, as this study illustrates, throughout the pre-modern period, the loss of freedom could happen quite easily, affecting high and low (including kings and princes) and there are many literary texts and historical documents that address the problems of imprisonment and even enslavement (Georgius of Hungary, Johann Schiltberger, Hans Ulrich Krafft, etc.). Simultaneously, philosophers and theologians discussed intensively the fundamental question regarding free will (e.g., Augustine) and political freedom (e.g., John of Salisbury). Moreover, quite a large number of major pre-modern poets spent a long time in prison where they composed some of their major works (Boethius, Marco Polo, Charles d'Orléans, Thomas Malory, etc.). This book brings to light a vast range of relevant sources that confirm the existence of this fundamental and impactful discourse on freedom, imprisonment, and enslavement.

This sourcebook explores how the Middle Ages dealt with questions related to the mental life of creatures great and small. It makes accessible a wide range of key Latin texts from the fourth to the fourteenth century in fresh English translations. Specialists and non-specialists alike will find many surprising insights in this comprehensive collection of sources on the medieval philosophy of animal minds. The book’s structure follows the distinction between the different aspects of the mental. The author has organized the material in three main parts: cognition, emotions, and volition. Each part contains translations of texts by different medieval thinkers. The philosophers chosen include well-known figures like Augustine, Albert the Great, and Thomas Aquinas. The collection also profiles the work of less studied thinkers like John Blund, (Pseudo-)Peter of Spain, and Peter of Abano. In addition, among those featured are several translated here into English for the first time. Each text comes with a short introduction to the philosopher, the context, and the main arguments of the text plus a section with bibliographical information and recommendations for further reading. A general introduction to the entire volume presents the basic concepts and questions of the philosophy of animal minds and explains how the medieval discussion relates to the contemporary debate. This sourcebook is valuable for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, especially medieval philosophy of mind. It will also appeal to scholars and students from other fields, such as psychology, theology, and cultural studies.

Philosophical controversy over non-human animals extends further back than many realize -- before Utilitarianism and Darwinism to the very genesis of philosophy. This volume examines the richness and complexity of that long history. Twelve essays trace the significance of animals from Greek and Indian antiquity through the Islamic and Latin medieval traditions, to Renaissance and early modern thought, ending with contemporary notions about animals. Two main questions emerge throughout the volume: what capacities can be ascribed to animals, and how should we treat them? Notoriously ungenerous attitudes towards animals' mental lives and ethics status, found for instance in Aristotle and Descartes, are shown to have been more nuanced than often supposed, while remarkable defenses of benevolence towards animals are unearthed in late antiquity, India, the Islamic world, and Kant. Other chapters examine cannibalism and vegetarianism in Renaissance thought, and the scientific testing of animals. A series of interdisciplinary reflections sheds further light on human attitudes towards animals, looking at their depiction in visual artworks from China, Africa, and Europe, as well as the rich tradition of animal fables beginning with Aesop.

The notions of other peoples, cultures, and natural conditions have always been determined by the epistemology of imagination and fantasy, providing much freedom and creativity, and yet have also created much fear, anxiety, and horror. In this regard, the pre-modern world demonstrates striking parallels with our own insofar as the projections of alterity might be different by degrees, but they are fundamentally the same by content. Dreams, illusions, projections, concepts, hopes, utopias/dystopias, desires, and emotional attachments are as specific and impactful as the physical environment. This volume thus sheds important light on the various lenses used by people in the Middle Ages and the early modern age as to how they came to terms with their perceptions, images, and notions. Previous scholarship focused heavily on the history of mentality and history of emotions, whereas here the history of pre-modern imagination, and fantasy assumes center position. Imaginary things are taken seriously because medieval and early modern writers and artists clearly reveal their great significance in their works and their daily lives. This approach facilitates a new deep-structure analysis of pre-modern culture.

Wie fremd ein ›exotisches‹ Tier in einem mittelalterlichen Text beschrieben wird und welche proprietates dabei besonders betont werden, hängt ganz davon ab, welchen Diskursen die Darstellung unterliegt. Lassen sich in der mittelalterlichen Literatur universelle Wahrnehmungs-, Verstehens- und Deutungskonzepte erkennen, die in allen Beschreibungen ›exotischer‹ Tiere zum Tragen kommen und die auf eine kultur- und epochenübergreifende Tradition zurückgehen? Oder auch solche, die spezifisch nur in einem bestimmten mittelalterlichen Diskurs in Erscheinung treten? Um Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen zu finden, werden im Rahmen eines interdisziplinären Untersuchungsansatzes fiktionale Texte des 12. bis 16. Jahrhunderts, (pseudo-)historische Reiseberichte des 14., 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhunderts sowie bildhafte Darstellungen von ›exotischen‹ Tieren einer vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen. How strange the description of an 'exotic' animal can be in a medieval text and which properties or proprietates are here especially stressed, depends on the respective discourses and presentations. Are there any global patterns of perception, understanding and interpretation in medieval literature that can be found in all descriptions of ›exotic‹ animals and can be traced back to a cross-cultural and cross-epochal tradition? Are there also any properties which are specific to certain medieval discourses? These issues will be addressed in the context of an interdisciplinary study in which not only fictional texts of the 12th to 16th century, (pseudo)historical travel reports of the 14th, 15th and early 16th century but also pictures of ›exotic‹ animals will be analysed.
