A great deal has been said and written about the ethical treatment
of animals in recent years - a lot of it speculative and full of
hot air. This carefully edited, accessible book presents a
thought-provoking cross-section of views in reference articles by
more than 15 academics and individuals who have done a great deal
of thinking on this issue. Based mainly around the human
relationship with primates, the book expands to other animals,
presenting philosophical and ethical discussions, clearly and
concisely written. It is not just ethics, and some writers suggest
a scientific framework and present new theoretical approaches that
might be used to evaluate what it is to be human or animal, and how
we might reconsider the age-old relationship between the two.
(Kirkus UK)
This thought-provoking book will ask what it is to be human, what
to be animal, and what are the natures of the relationships between
them. This is accomplished with philosophical and ethical
discussions, scientific evidence and dynamic theoretical
approaches. Attitudes to Animals will also encourage us to think
not only of our relationships to non-human animals, but also of
those to other, human, animals. This book provides a foundation
that the reader can use to make ethical choices about animals. It
will challenge readers to question their current views, attitudes
and perspectives on animals, nature and development of the
human-animal relationship. Human perspectives on the human-animal
relationships reflect what we have learned, together with spoken
and unspoken attitudes and assumptions, from our families,
societies, media, education and employment.
