In recent years a set of challenging questions have arisen in
relation to the status of animals; their treatment by human beings;
their cognitive abilities; and the nature of their feelings,
emotions, and capacity for suffering. This ground-breaking book
draws from integrational semiology to investigate arguments around
the rights of certain animals to be recognized as legal persons,
thereby granting them many of the protections enjoyed by humans. In
parallel with these debates, the question of the legal personality
of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has moved to the forefront
of legal debate, with entities such as robots, cyborgs,
self-driving cars, and genetically engineered beings under
consideration. Integrationism offers a framework within which the
wider theoretical and practical issues can be understood. Law
requires closure and categorical answers; integrationism is an
open-ended form of inquiry that is seen as removed from particular
controversies. This book argues that the two domains can be brought
together in a challenging and productive synthesis. A much-needed
resource to examine the heart of this fascinating debate and a
must-read for anyone interested in semiology, linguistics,
philosophy, ethics, and law.
