      7 7. Morizot uses the term ‘les égards ajustés’ to suggest the specific, varied kinds of consideration proper to other living beings. I have translated it as ‘adjusted consideration’. (Translator’s note.)

      8 8. A character in Richard Powers’s novel The Overstory puts it like this: ‘You study what makes some people take the living world seriously, while for the majority the only important thing is other people. It’s all those who think that only humans are important that you ought to study. […] it’s pathological’ (translated from the French).

      9 9. Jean-Paul Sartre’s play Huis Clos, set in a room which the characters constantly fail to leave, is known in English as In Camera or No Exit. (Translator’s note.)

      10 10. Of course, people will object that Camus’s Noces suggests other relations to the living world. But my argument here is on a more general level. (Noces, translated as Nuptials, is a lyrical work by Albert Camus celebrating the natural world and the pleasures of the senses. – Translator’s note.)
