Beyond Animal Rights: Food, Pets and Ethics: Think Now
Autor Dr Tony Milliganen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 oct 2010
Issues
to
do
with
animal
ethics
remain
at
the
heart
of
public
debate.
InBeyond
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.

Recenzii
"Beyond
Animal
Rights
is
a
fine
book:
a
wide-ranging
and
sensitive
discussion
of
the
ethical
considerations
which
apply
when
humans
deal
with
animals.
The
author
makes
powerful
use
of
statistics,
but
is
not
afraid
to
appeal
to
our
moral
intuitions."

"Beyond Animal Rights is a very important book. In his thoughtful discussion of how we interact with other animals including who we choose to eat - not what we choose to eat - Tony Milligan considers a wide variety of arguments used to justify meat-eating, for the most part an unnecessary habit that brings untold suffering to millions of innocent animals. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Dr. Milligan, this well-argued book will force readers to think more about the sentient creatures who they pop into their mouths at the end of a fork." - Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado, USA; author of The Emotional Lives of Animals, Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals, and The Animal Manifesto: Six Reasons for Expanding Our Compassion Footprint
'A nuanced and considered philosophical tract regarding our diet, animal experimentation and our proclivity for keeping pets... a thought-provoking entry into an important ongoing debate that affects us all.'
Milligan's book is original and a little provocative in the way he presents his topic... a welcome broadening of the debate.
... worthwhile reading whatever dietary practice you subscribe to... [Milligan's] clear and well-argued writing makes for enjoyable and thoughtful reading.
Milligan's book is well written and presents a convincing set of arguments for his case. While he is clear at the outset of the book that he writes as a vegan, his arguments both for and against the positions he adopts are nevertheless both comprehensive and fair. The book is written in an accessible style with complex theoretical arguments conveyed clearly and comprehensively. Milligan provides an interesting and informative examination of the topics covered in a manner that will appeal to both animal ethicists and those without a theoretical background alike.
