Description
Against Liberation: Putting Animals in Perspective challenges prevailing views on animal rights by questioning the notion that animals possess self-consciousness like humans. Michael P. T. Leahy presents a radical philosophical argument, with implications for issues such as bloodsports, meat eating and fur trading.
This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the fundamental misconceptions underlying the modern animal rights movement. By re-examining our understanding of animals, Leahy sheds new light on these complex issues.
