Animal Minds and Human Morals: the Origins of the Western Debate: The Origins of the Western Debate

The Townsend Lectures Sorabji starts … by examining philosophical treatments of animals in ancient Greece. From there he goes on to current thinking and argues that the animal rights movement is philosophically incoherent. His philosophical analysis is so thorough that anyone who’s thinking about these issues has an obligation to read this book. -Vicki Hearne, Lingua Franca
