Ethics of Eating Animals - Usually Bad, Sometimes Wrong, Often Permissible

Zusatztext "This is one of the most honest books I’ve ever read. Rather than grinding an axe, Fischer follows the reasons to the conclusions they support—conclusions at odds with what he had hoped to establish." – Donald Bruckner, Penn State University, New Kensington, USA Informationen zum Autor Bob Fischer teaches philosophy at Texas State University. He’s the author of Animal Ethics — A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge, forthcoming) and the editor of The Moral Complexities of Eating Meat (2015) and The Routledge Handbook of Animal Ethics (Routledge, forthcoming). Zusammenfassung This book contends that the major arguments for veganism fail: they don’t establish the right sort of connection between producing and eating animal-based foods. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
