The Political Turn in Animal Ethics (Paperback)

The debate about our treatment of nonhuman animals has been
traditionally dominated by moral philosophers, and the crucially
important role of politics has been hitherto neglected. This
innovative edited collection seeks to redress the imbalance by
interrogating some vital questions about this so-called 'political
turn' in animal ethics.. The questions tackled include: What can
political philosophy tell us about our moral obligations to
animals? Should the boundaries of the demos be expanded to allow
for the inclusion of animals? What kind of political system is most
appropriate for the protection of animals? Does the protection of
animals require limits to democracy, as in constitutional devices,
or a usurping of democracy, as in direct action? What can the work
of political scientists tell us about the governance of animal
welfare? Leading scholars in the field explain how engaging with
politics, in its empirical and normative guises, can throw much
needed light on the question of how we treat animals, and how we
ought to treat them.
