Descartes features heavily in ecocritical literature. He is often said to dismiss the non-human world as irrelevant and inanimate. This Element offers insights into the seventeenth-century context and explains what Descartes said, what problems emerge with his account, and why a more precise understanding of these problems can be useful today.
