The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series |
| Description: |
Structured around the five most important schools within contemporary political theory: liberalism, utilitarianism, communitarianism, Marxism and feminism,this is the first introductory level text to offer an accessible overview on the status of animals in contemporary political theory. |
| Synopsis: |
* How should political communities govern their relations with animals? * Are animals owed justice? * What might justice for animals involve? Alasdair Cochrane introduces the most prominent schools in contemporary political theory -- utilitarianism, liberalism, communitarianism, Marxism and feminism -- and examines their implications for issues such as meat-eating, intensive agriculture, animal experimentation, religious slaughter and hunting. An Introduction to Animals and Political Theory explores the debates and discusses controversies over what makes an entity worthy of justice: is it rationality, the ability to contribute to society, sentience, or something else? It also introduces and engages with debates about what our political obligations to animals might entail: is it simply not to cause them unnecessary suffering, or do we have much more demanding obligations not to kill, own, or even use non-human animals? |
