Recenzii
The exploitation of sentient animals is pervasive within most contemporary livestock production systems. In Food, Justice, and Animals, however, philosopher Josh Milburn intriguingly proposes that many animal products might be used for food or other purposes, whilst still respecting animals' rights. For those who aspire toward lifestyles free of animal exploitation, this is nothing less than paradigm-shifting. This highly readable and engaging book deserves widespread consideration by all who are concerned about the ethics, and consequences of, our modern livestock production systems. And given the severity of the environmental and animal welfare problems they create, this should be all of us.
This book is not an attack on veganism... I view it very much as saying 'If we're going to put forward an idea of a future in which animals are treated well, we do need to take seriously the arguments that are pitted against veganism.'... I really do commend [Milburn] on an excellent piece of work that got me thinking in all sorts of directions.
Milburn's book is intelligent, innovative, and challenging. He argues subtly and analyses many counterarguments.
It is rare to find a book which convincingly argues that eating animal-based foods is compatible with fully respecting the rights of animals. In Food, Justice, and Animals, Josh Milburn successfully shows that it can be done.... Detailed, well-argued, and exceptionally clear
Milburn brings welcome nuance to the discussion of animals' political rights and stands out from an overwhelmingly anthropocentric literature on "food justice." Few books in the field can provoke and engage readers from a wide range of persuasions like this one. Lucidly written, richly informed, impeccably structured, and conscientiously argued, it should be read by anyone interested in animal ethics, animal political theory, and food studies. A short review cannot do justice to the book's level of detail - Milburn's evocative descriptions of many cuisines and traditional dishes worldwide - or the crisp and precise yet witty and lively style.
Recommended. Graduate students and faculty.
