This is an open access book.Animals are the traditional blind spot
in human rights theory. This book brings together the seemingly
disparate discourses of human and animal rights, and looks at
emerging animal rights as new human rights. It approaches the
question whether animals can and should have human rights through a
comprehensive review of contemporary human rights philosophy,
discussing both naturalistic and political justifications of human
and animal rights. On philosophical as well as practical grounds,
this book argues that there are compelling conceptual, principled,
and prudential reasons for modernizing the human rights paradigm
and integrating animals into its protective mandate. Moreover, this
book proposes the novel One Rights approach as a new (post-)human
rights paradigm for the Anthropocene. One Rights advances a
holistic understanding of the indivisibility and interdependence of
human and animal rights. This book explores how the systematic
subjugation, exploitation, and extermination of animals
simultaneously contributes to some of the gravest social and
environmental threats to human rights, such as animalistic
dehumanization and climate change. This book submits that, in light
of their socio-political and ecological interconnectedness, human
and animal rights are best protected in concert. The themes of this
book are part of a larger conversation about postanthropocentric
legal paradigms emerging in the Anthropocene. For human rights to
survive in this era of anthropogenic crises, we need to abandon the
toxic ideology of human exceptionalism and embrace a more inclusive
version of (post-)human rights that tends to the nonhuman. This
book intends to show that a holistic One Rights approach promises
to achieve better rights-protective outcomes for humans, animals,
and their shared planetary home.
