This book affords a neopragmatic theory of animal ethics, taking
its lead from American Pragmatism to place language at the centre
of philosophical analysis. Following a method traceable to Dewey,
Wittgenstein and Rorty, Hadley argues that many enduring puzzles
about human interactions with animals can be 'dissolved' by
understanding why people use terms like dignity, respect,
naturalness, and inherent value. Hadley shifts the debate about
animal welfare and rights from its current focus upon contentious
claims about value and animal mindedness, to the vocabulary people
use to express their concern for the suffering and lives of
animals. With its emphasis on public concern for animals, animal
neopragmatism is a uniquely progressive and democratic theory of
animal ethics.
