Abstract
A man as a conscious and rational being tries to define his place in the universe, himself in relation to the cosmos, absolute, logos and nature. Witold Koehler in the book “Animals are waiting” undertakes an analysis of key issues that arise from the man-animal relationship. He deals with the issue of animal consumption, including the question of keeping live fish in the shop, as well as hunting or training. This paper is an attempt to bring closer both the historical development of human-animal relations and their contemporary state – the attention has been paid to issues related to this state, with particular emphasis on meat consumption, and they have been shown through the prism of the concepts of Witold Koehler.
