Corbey, Raymond

Raymond Corbey, a philosopher and anthropologist, is an associate professor at Tilburg University and holds an endowed chair at Leiden University, both in the Netherlands. He has a keen interest in animal behavior and in human–animal relations in various settings, ranging from hominin evolution and extant foraging peoples to the globalized economy. His book, The Metaphysics of Apes: Negotiating the Animal–Human Boundary (2005), deals with the reception and rebuttal of evolutionary approaches in twentieth-century and present-day continental-European philosophy and in the humanities.
