Alice Crary's Inside Ethics is a transformative account of moral
thought about human beings and animals. We have come to think of
human beings and animals as elements of a morally indifferent
reality that reveals itself only to neutral or science-based
methods. This little-commented-on trend, which shapes the work of
moral philosophers and popular ethical writers alike, has
pernicious effects, distorting our understanding of the difficulty
of moral thinking. Inside Ethics traces the roots of existing views
to tendencies in ethics, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. Crary
underlines the moral urgency of revisiting our approach in ethics
so that, instead of assuming we confront a world that itself places
no demands on moral imagination, we treat the exercise of moral
imagination as necessary for arriving at an adequate world-guided
understanding of human beings and animals. The book's argument is
both rich and practically oriented, integrating ideas from literary
authors such as Raymond Carver, J. M. Coetzee, Daniel Keyes, W. G.
Sebald, and Leo Tolstoy and bringing them to bear on issues in
disability studies and animal studies as well as elsewhere in
ethics. The result is a commanding case for a reorientation in
ethics that illuminates central challenges of moral thought about
human and animal lives, directing attention to important aspects of
these lives that are otherwise hidden from view.
