Description

Introducing Ethics, Humans and Other Animals: An Introduction with Readings, an accessible guide to the ethics of treating animals. This introductory textbook is ideal for those new to philosophy and ethical issues.

Rosalind Hursthouse explores three main approaches in current ethical theory: utilitarianism, rights, and virtue ethics. She explains how each approach addresses questions about animal treatment, using readings from notable authors such as Peter Singer, Tom Regan, and Mary Midgley to illustrate key concepts.
