Synopsis	The 20th century saw, as never before in history, the intensive devastation of ecosystems coupled with the advance of technology and industry, as well as a significant development of the means of communication and transport. It was faced with war conflicts and the conquest of space. It was in this century that various voices also began to seriously question human activity on the planet and its place in nature. The so-called “school of suspicion” – Nietzsche, Marx and Freud – bequeathed to the contemporary world a series of doubts and questions that forced us to rethink both anthropology and human praxis. Wars, resistance to colonialist and imperialist projects, terrorism and financial crises were recurring scenarios in a century that, while taking humanity to unsuspected levels of development, also showed human cruelty and constant coexistence with evil. The philosophers of the 20th century sought to find new answers, new points of support in the face of the collapse of tradition. For this reason, perhaps in response to the difficulties experienced, the past century was a century of great philosophical contributions and in these the animal question did not go unnoticed. The third volume of this collection offers a tour of some of these proposals, specifically those of Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Georges Bataille, Jacques Derrida, Tom Regan, Giorgio Agamben, Peter Singer and Martha Nussbaum.
