"Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, Bentham, Mill: all thought
seriously about the role of animals in our lives. But not until Tom
Regan published "The Case for Animal Rights did the world possess a
theory of the rights of animals. When philosophy students come to
this issue hundreds of years from now, they will read the greats in
light of the arguments presented here."--Gary L. Comstock, editor
of "Life Science Ethics
"Tom Regan's now classic "Case For Animal Rights blends careful
argument with intense moral concern. For two decades, where Regan
has been taken seriously, animals have been better off and people
have become better persons. This new edition is a welcome sign of
this influence continuing."--Holmes Rolston, III, University
Distinguished Professor, Colorado State University
"A bold and nuanced analysis of the inherent value and moral
standing of nonhuman animals. It may also be the most consistent
and unyielding defense of animal rights."--Tom L. Beauchamp,
Georgetown University
"The most powerful and plausible consideration of the issues and
defense of animal rights yet to be produced (or likely to
be)."--Richard Wasserstrom
"By far the best work on the subject, and will continue to be
the definitive work for years to come . . . .[It is] destined to
become a 'modern classic' in the field of ethics, alongside Rawls's
"A Theory of Justice and Nozick's "Anarchy, State, and
Utopia."--Alastair S. Gunn, coauthor of "Hold Paramount
