What kind of thing are we? Paul Snowdon's answer is that we are animals, of a sort. This view¿'animalism'¿may seem obvious but on the whole philosophers have rejected it. Snowdon argues that animalism is a defensible way of thinking about ourselves. Its rejection rests on the tendency when doing philosophy to mistake fantasy for reality.
