This engaging volume explores and defends the claim that
misanthropy is a justified attitude towards humankind in the light
of how human beings both compare with and treat animals. Reflection
on differences between humans and animals helps to confirm the
misanthropic verdict, while reflection on the moral and other
failings manifest in our treatment of animals illuminates what is
wrong with this treatment. Human failings, it is argued, are too
entrenched to permit optimism about the future of animals, but ways
are proposed in which individual people may accommodate to the
truth of misanthropy through cultivating mindful, humble and
compassionate relationships to animals. Drawing on both Eastern and
Western philosophical traditions David E. Cooper offers an original
and challenging approach to the complex field of animal ethics.
