This book explores the problem of disagreement concerning the
treatment of animals in a liberal society. Current laws include an
unprecedented concern for animal welfare, yet disagreement remains
pervasive. This issue has so far been neglected both in political
philosophy and animal ethics. Although starting from disagreement
has been the hallmark of many politically liberal theories, none
have been devoted to the treatment of animals, and conversely, most
theories in animal ethics do not take the disagreement on this
issue seriously. Bridging this divide with a change of perspective,
Zuolo argues that we should begin from the disagreement on the
moral status of animals and the treatment we owe them.
Reconstructing the epistemic nature of disagreement about animals,
Zuolo proposes a novel form of public justification to find
principles acceptable to all. By setting out a unified framework
which honours the liberal principles of respect for diversity, a
robust liberal political theory capable of dealing with diverse
forms of disagreement, and even some forms of radical dissent, is
achieved.
