Beastly Journeys examines metaphors of travel and transformation in a range of texts published between 1885 and 1900. It places these texts in their socio-economic context and argues that their narratives of alteration from human to animal shape, which occur in response to social and economic shifts, reflect changes to the social body.

The introduction to this book examines the social and economic contexts of Britain in the 1880s and 1890s. It discusses the prevalence of metaphors of transformation from human to animal and argues that these reflect a deep unease about changes to the social body. It also shows that these transformations are accompanied by metaphors of different kinds of travel (e.g. social, pyschological and time travel).Less

This chapter raises the question of whether Aristotle acknowledges the existence of intellectual, practical (praktikai), and productive (poiētikai) non-virtuous states. It argues that the canvas of practical and productive states — that is, of practical wisdom, craft, and their opposites — is much more nuanced and coherent than it is usually taken to be; that not to make room for non-virtuous practical intellectual states would be detrimental to the intelligibility of Aristotle's concepts of deliberate choice and practical wisdom, and to the tenability of his ethics as a whole; and that the emerging picture of practical intellectual states has far-reaching philosophical consequences for the account of evil and moral change.Less
