Description
Shelly Kagan explores how we should take animals into account in moral deliberation. A prominent stance is that animals have the same moral status as people, but this raises questions about how to balance their interests with those of humans.
Kagan argues for a hierarchical approach, where human interests are given more weight than animal ones, and some animals are considered more worthy of consideration than others. This perspective highlights the need for further development in moral theories to address differences in status.
