This groundbreaking volume explores Plutarch's unique survival
in the argument that animals are rational and sentient, and that
we, as humans, must take notice of their interests.
Exploring Plutarch's three animal-related treatises, as well as
passages from his ethical treatises, Stephen Newmyer examines
arguments that, strikingly, foreshadow those found in the works of
such prominent animal rights philosophers as Peter Singer and Tom
Regan.
Unique in viewing Plutarch 's opinions not only in the context
of ancient philosophical and ethical through, but also in its place
in the history of animal rights speculation, Animals Rights and
Reasons points out how remarkably Plutarch differs from such
anti-animal thinkers as the Stoics.
Classicists, philosophers, animal-welfare students and
interested readers will all find this book an invaluable and
informative addition to their reading.
