Recenzii
Never, in the fifty years in which I have been writing about ethics and animals, have I seen a project as philosophically and empirically daring as this attempt to develop a method for comparing welfare across species. Impressive and truly ground-breaking, what Fischer and his team have done has huge implications for our treatment of animals. Others will follow the trail they have blazed.
Weighing Animal Welfare, rich both in facts and normative arguments, challenges many of our intuitions regarding animals' welfare and how it can be compared between different species. The book may not be the most comfortable read. But what important work it does to shake our prejudices and pride as a human species!
Weighing Animal Welfare is the most comprehensive synthesis to date of what we know - and what we have yet to learn - about the capacity of species across the tree of life to experience pleasure and pain. This book makes a persuasive case that many more animals matter - and matter more - than many of us thought. It will serve as an essential tool for decision-makers and a helpful framework for future research into animal wellbeing.
