“…Such an argument for species differentiation between humans and animals brings Kateb into conflict with the movement which aims to elevate the status of animals, and with scholars who – following new trends in medicine, science and technology – point to dissolving the boundaries between human and animal. For example, Rose (2007) and Fuller (2011), while debating what it means to be human in the new circumstances, suggest that there is something qualitatively new in recorded history; that now the distinctiveness of humans is changing, if not slowly disappearing, now that we increasingly identify ourselves with the rest of nature.
