Summary:
Thirty years ago, the Vienna artist and architect Heinz Frank published a book entitled "Children's book for architects," a selection of his drawings from the 1970s, in which animals and ghostly creatures "haunt" buildings of various kinds. Frank's works on paper collected here once again shake at the rational foundations of architecture. With humor and imagination, the artist draws on the anarchic potential of animals and of children's drawings. "Children's books like this one," writes US-American architecture critic Felicity D. Scott in her contribution to this book, "prompt us to rethink the world, even to see it differently." Eight color-in sheets, included with the book, invite us to "enter into Frank's animal form of refusing architecture."

Summary:
Plutarque s'interroge, s'émerveille, devant ce qu'il appelle le courage, la raison ou le plaisir, qui permet à l'homme de tuer puis de manger ces animaux. En somme, la question qu'il se pose peut s'énoncer de la manière suivante : comment l'homme peut-il jouir de manger de la chair ? Cette question n'est plus religieuse, mais proprement morale. Elle ne concerne plus seulement un certain ordre du monde, un partage entre les animaux, les hommes et les dieux, mais un ordre de la moralité, lié à l'évolution des cultures et des mentalités.
