Explore a fresh perspective on animal rights with Mark Rowlands’ “Animal Rights” from The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series. This compelling book delves into whether animals possess moral standing and what our obligations to them truly are. Rowlands meticulously traces three distinct waves of thought in animal rights philosophy, from classic debates between utilitarianism and rights-based ethics to contemporary understandings shaped by advancements in comparative psychology. Discover how modern science reveals animals as authors of their own lives, not just passive experiencers. “Animal Rights” powerfully argues that regardless of your ethical framework, animals deserve profound moral respect and consideration, challenging conventional notions of our duties towards them. An essential read for anyone interested in ethics, animal welfare, and our place in the natural world.
