Animal Ethics and the Autonomous Animal Self By Natalie Thomas
English | EPUB | 2016 | 184 Pages | ISBN : 1137586842 | 0.8 MB
This book presents a radical and intuitive argument against the notion that intentional action, agency and autonomy are features belonging only to humans. Using evidence from research into the minds of non-human animals, it explores the ways in which animals can be understood as individuals who are aware of themselves, and the consequent basis of our moral obligations towards them.
