Debate in animal ethics needs reenergizing. To date, philosophers
have focused on a relatively limited number of specific themes
whilst leaving metaphilosophical issues that require urgent
attention largely unexamined. This timely collection of essays
brings together new theory and critical perspectives on key topics
in animal ethics, foregrounding questions relating to moral status,
moral epistemology and moral psychology. Is an individualistic
approach based upon capacities the best way to ground the moral
status of non-human animals or should philosophers pursue
relational perspectives? What does it mean to "know" animals and
"speak" for them? What is the role of emotions such as disgust,
empathy, and love, in animal ethics and how does emotion inform the
rationalism inherent in analytic animal ethics theory? The
collection aims to broaden the scope of animal ethics, rendering it
more inclusive of important contemporary philosophical themes and
pushing the discipline in new directions.
