I've started this page because I was irritated at being re-directed to the Human page when searching for non-human. I look forward to seeing if/how others elaborate on my initial attempt at introducing non-humans to Wikipedia! (FrauKramer (talk))
I changed 'animals' back to 'actors' because the definition of non-human is wider in scope than just relating to animals. See the introductory paragraph of the Jim Johnson pdf: "the author chooses one very humble nonhuman, a door-closer."
Maybe 'nonhuman animals' need to be elaborated on as a specific (and perhaps dominant) sub-catagory. (FrauKramer (talk) 15:04, 19 February 2011 (UTC))[reply]
While I'm a big fan of MacIntyre's work, and I think this article's subject is important and that the article itself well-written, the reference supplied does not seem to be directly relevant to the text of the article. The problem of what is or isn't sufficient to comprise human rationality is a separate problem from the agency of, and human dependence on, non-humans. I don't have a copy of DRA handy, so can someone who does select a more pertinent quote, or replace it with something from Johnson or Latour?
