This open access book revises Kant's ethical thought in one of its
most notorious respects: its exclusion of animals from moral
consideration. The book gives readers in animal ethics an
accessible introduction to Kant's views on our duties to others,
and his view that we have only 'indirect' duties regarding animals.
It then investigates how one would have to depart from Kant in
order to recognise that animals matter morally for their own sake.
Particular attention is paid to Kant's 'Formula of Humanity,' the
role of autonomy and the moral law, as well as Kant's notions of
practical reason and animal instinct. The result is a deliberately
amended version of Kantianism which nevertheless remains faithful
to central aspects of Kant's thought. The book's final part
illustrates the framework's use in applied contexts, addressing the
issues of using animals as mere means, the ethics of veganism and
vegetarianism, and environmental protection. Nico Dario Muller
shows how, when furnished with duties to animals, Kant's moral
philosophy can be a powerful resource for animal ethicists.
