How do we understand the dignity and value of non-human animals?
Leading philosophers, ethnologists and writers contribute to this
interdisciplinary and wide-ranging account of animal dignity. With
a foreword by world-leading primatologist, Dr. Jane Goodall DBE,
essays collected here make the case for applying the concept of
dignity beyond its usual humanist framework and introduce readers
to animal dignity in history, law, science, philosophy, and
literature. United in recognizing the dignity of non-human animals,
these essays suggest how we might ensure a flourishing environment
in times of ecological destruction and climate breakdown.
Historians, primatologists, philosophers, novelists and artists
approach the concept of animal dignity creatively, offering
interpretations that are academically rigorous, alongside ones that
are personal and literary. This variety of engagement knits
together a fruitful way forward for progressive relations between
all species.
