Animal rights sounds like a modern idea, but in fact -- for over
three millennia -- philosophers, theologians, and political
theorists have grappled with the question of our obligations toward
animals. This comprehensive and diverse anthology, the only one of
its kind, illuminates the complex evolution of moral thought
regarding animals and includes writings from ancient Greece to the
present. "Animal Rights" reveals the ways in which a variety of
thinkers have addressed such issues as our ethical responsibilities
for the welfare of animals, whether animals have rights, and what
it means to be human.
The preface by Andrew Linzey dispels many of the misconceptions
about the animal rights movement. In light of the growing interest
in animal rights, this volume is an indispensable resource for
scholars and activists alike.
"Animal Rights" includes writings from Plato, Aristotle,
Aquinas, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Hegel, Marx, Kant,
Bertrand Russell, John Stuart Mill, Nietzsche, John Rawls, Robert
Nozick, and Peter Singer.
