This volume is a collection of essays concerned with the morality
of hu man treatment of nonhuman animals. The contributors take very
different approaches to their topics and come to widely divergent
conclusions. The goal of the volume as a whole is to shed a
brighter light upon an aspect of human life-our relations with the
other animals-that has recently seen a great increase in interest
and in the generation of heat. The discussions and debates
contained herein are addressed by the contributors to each other,
to the general public, and to the academic world, especially the
biological, philosophical, and political parts of that world. The
essays are organized into eight sections by topics, each sec tion
beginning with a brief introduction linking the papers and the sec
tions to one another. There is also a general introduction and an
Epilog that suggests alternate possible ways of organizing the
material. The first two sections are concerned with the place of
animals in the human world: Section I with the ways humans view
animals in literature, philosophy, and other parts of human
culture, and Section II with the place of animals in human legal
and moral community. The next three sections concern comparisons
between human and nonhuman animals: Section III on the rights and
wrongs of killing, Section IV on the humanity of animals and the
animality of humans, and Section V on questions of the conflict of
human and animal interests."
