From vegetarianism to scientific experimentation, this book is an
ethical exploration of our responsibilities to the animals with
whom we share the planet. Issues to do with animal ethics remain at
the heart of public debate. In "Beyond Animal Rights", Tony
Milligan goes beyond standard discussions of animal ethics to
explore the ways in which we personally relate to other creatures
through our diet, as pet owners and as beneficiaries of
experimentation. The book connects with our duty to act and
considers why previous discussions have failed to result in a
change in the way that we live our lives. The author asks a crucial
question: what sort of people do we have to become if we are to
sufficiently improve the ways in which we relate to the non-human?
Appealing to both consequences and character, he argues that no
improvement will be sufficient if it fails to set humans on a path
towards a tolerable and sustainable future. Focussing on our direct
relations to the animals we connect with the book offers guidance
on all the relevant issues, including veganism and vegetarianism,
the organic movement, pet ownership, and animal experimentation.
"Think Now" is a new series of books which examines central
contemporary social and political issues from a philosophical
perspective. These books aim to be accessible, rather than overly
technical, bringing philosophical rigour to modern questions which
matter the most to us. Provocative yet engaging, the authors take a
stand on political and cultural themes of interest to any
intelligent reader.
