Esta obra busca responder à seguinte pergunta-problema: diante de uma eventual necessidade de mudança da atual natureza jurídica dos animais não humanos, qual a melhor classificação a ser adotada: sujeitos de direito ou objetos de direito? Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral foi demonstrar, com base na disputa pela guarda de animais de companhia, que classificar os animais como coisas semoventes não reflete mais as lides da sociedade atual. Parte-se da hipótese de que, embora os animais sejam sencientes, isso não é suficiente para classificá-los como sujeitos de direito, sendo que sua real proteção jurídica não depende de seu status normativo. Concluiu-se que a abordagem sistêmico-emergentista, somada a um estatuto dos animais, é o melhor caminho a ser seguido. Porém, tendo em vista uma enraizada dicotomia entre sujeitos de direito e objetos de direito, a resposta mais factível é a classificação jurídica desses seres vivos como objetos de direito sencientes.

Scientific, technological, and cultural changes have always had an impact upon philosophy. They can force a change in the way we perceive the world, reveal new kinds of phenomena to be understood, and provide new ways of understanding phenomena. Complexity science, immersed in a culture of information, is having a diverse but particularly significant impact upon philosophy. Previous ideas do not necessarily sit comfortably with the new paradigm, resulting in new ideas or new interpretations of old ideas.In this unprecedented interdisciplinary volume, researchers from different backgrounds join efforts to update thinking upon philosophical questions with developments in the scientific study of complex systems. The contributions focus on a wide range of topics, but share the common goal of increasing our understanding and improving our descriptions of our complex world. This revolutionary debate includes contributions from leading experts, as well as young researchers proposing fresh ideas.
What place do reason and emotion have in justice and the law? This thought-provoking text brings together leading lawyers and legal philosophers to argue that law gains legitimacy and effectiveness when reason recognizes and embraces human emotions for the benefit of society as a whole.

Clients are viewed as active, engaged agents, with strengths and resources from which to draw in meeting everyday challenges and major life crises. Contributions form around the world allow the social work student to learn about current practice in places as diverse as Australia, Finland, China, South Africa, Wales, Canada, and the United States. Each chapter is accompanied by both reflection questions and a case study derived from practice and written to stimulate discussion that develops assessment and treatment planning skills.
