Description
Stephen R. L. Clark is a leading authority on animal rights and has written extensively on the subject over the past twenty years. This collection brings together his major works, tracing the development of the concept of 'animal rights' and tackling key issues such as the moral status of animals, their welfare, and the impact of human activities on ecosystems.
Clark's writings have been central to the growing public debate about animal rights, which has gained momentum in recent years. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, covering topics including the calculation of costs and benefits, the 'rights' of wild animals, and problems with our understanding of animal behaviour.
By examining these issues and more, Clark offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the moral standing of animals. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in animal welfare, ethics, and philosophy.
