'We have wonder in the presence of many things. (It's hard to know what the best preposition is: wonder "at" or "about"? Philosopher Jeremy Bendik-Keymer suggests "over" is better, because it's slower, more deliberative.) But in Aristotle's conception, and I will borrow and extend it, wonder is especially closely connected to our awareness of movement and sentience.'

I really want to read Martha C. Nussbaum's soon-to-be-released 'Justice for Animals'. Philosophy, love for animals...yum.
