Duty and the Beast - Should We Eat Meat in the Name of Animal Rights? (Hardcover)

The moral status of animals is a subject of controversy both within
and beyond academic philosophy, especially regarding the question
of whether and when it is ethical to eat meat. A commitment to
animal rights and related notions of animal protection is often
thought to entail a plant-based diet, but recent philosophical work
challenges this view by arguing that, even if animals warrant a
high degree of moral standing, we are permitted - or even obliged -
to eat meat. Andy Lamey provides critical analysis of past and
present dialogues surrounding animal rights, discussing topics
including plant agriculture, animal cognition, and in vitro meat.
He documents the trend toward a new kind of omnivorism that
justifies meat-eating within a framework of animal protection, and
evaluates for the first time which forms of this new omnivorism can
be ethically justified, providing crucial guidance for philosophers
as well as researchers in culture and agriculture.
