To meet this need. I examine tlie burgeoning academic field known as "Animal Srndies." but which is known variously under nlhcr names such as "Anlhrowclogy," and "Human-Animal Studies" (there arc at least o holf-dozen other options tho! I do not list here. For further discussions, see Woldou 2013). In order 10 see why the field of law and the subfield of animol law need perspectives from Animal Studies, I employ whal l will refer 10 as three lenses- these include a gencralil.alion, a warn­ ing aboul social movements. and an imaginative image to holp us see the terrain we W;tlk as ethical crealuro$.

RATTLING THE CAGE DEFENDED STEVEN M. WISE* Abstract: In Rattling the Cage: Toward Levi Rights for Animals, the author advocated basic legal rights—specifically common law rights—for chimpanzees, bonobos, and other nonhuman animals. In this Article, the author responds to many of the major criticisms of Rattling the Cage. The author confronts critics of his historical arguments for legal rights for nonhuman animals, tracing those arguments through ancient philosophy and nineteenth century English statutes. The author also expands upon his legal arguments for animal rights, reexamining various theories of rights and justifications for treating animals as property, Finally, borrowing from his upcoming book Drawing the Line: Science and The Case for Animal Rights, the author defends his advocacy of legal rights for nonhuman animals based on the relative autonomy nonhuman animals possess. INTRODUCTION "The 'animal rights' movement is gathering steam and Steven Wise is one of the pistons."l Thus Judge Richard Posner began a Yale Law Journal review of my book, Rattling the Cage: Toward Legal Rights for Animals, published in 2000.

  • The Scope of the Argument from Species Overlap
    bs_bs_banner Journal of Applied Philosophy,Vol.31, No. 2, 2014 doi: 10.1111/japp.12051 The Scope of the Argument from Species Overlap OSCAR HORTA ABSTRACT The argument from species overlap has been widely used in the literature on animal ethics and speciesism. However, there has been much confusion regarding what the argument proves and what it does not prove, and regarding the views it challenges.This article intends to clarify these confusions, and to show that the name most often used for this argument (‘the argument from marginal cases’) reflects and reinforces these misunderstandings.The article claims that the argument questions not only those defences of anthropocentrism that appeal to capacities believed to be typically human, but also those that appeal to special relations between humans. This means the scope of the argument is far wider than has been thought thus far. Finally, the article claims that, even if the argument cannot prove by itself that we should not disregard the interests of nonhuman animals, it provides us with strong reasons to do so, since the argument does prove that no defence of anthropocentrism appealing to non-definitional and testable criteria succeeds. 1. Introduction The argument from species overlap, which has also been called — misleadingly, I will argue — the argument from marginal cases, points out that the criteria that are com- monly used to deprive nonhuman animals of moral consideration fail to draw a line between human beings and other sentient animals, since there are also humans who fail to satisfy them.1 This argument has been widely used in the literature on animal ethics for two purposes.

  • PHIL 221 – Ethical Theory (3 Credits) Course Description
    PHIL 221 – Ethical Theory (3 credits) Course Description: This course focuses on theories of morality rather than on contemporary moral issues (that is the topic of PHIL 120). That means that we will primarily be preoccupied with exploring what it means for an action—or a person—to be “good”. We will attempt to answer this question by looking at a mix of historical and contemporary texts primarily drawn from the Western European tradition, but also including some works from China and pre-colonial central America. We will begin by asking whether there are any universal and objectively valid moral rules, and chart several attempts to answer in both the affirmative and the negative: relativism, egoism, virtue ethics, consequentialism, deontology, the ethics of care, and contractarianism. We will consider the relationship between morality and the law, and whether morality is linked to human happiness. Finally, we will consider arguments for and against the idea that moral facts actually exist. Schedule of Readings Week 1 Introduction What are we trying to do? Charles L. Stevenson – The Nature of Ethical Disagreement Tom Regan – How Not to Answer Moral Questions Week 2 Relativism What counts as good depends on the moral standards of the group doing the evaluating. Mary Midgley – Trying Out One’s New Sword Martha Nussbaum – Judging Other Cultures: The Case of Genital Mutilation Plato – The Myth of Gyges (Republic II) Week 3 Egoism What’s good is just what’s good for me.

    PRINCÍPIOS DO DIREITO ANIMAL BRASILEIRO PRINCIPLES OF THE BRAZILIAN ANIMAL LAW Recebido: 07.06.2019 Aprovado: 25.03.2020 Vicente de Paula Ataide Junior Pós-doutor em Direito Animal UFBA. Doutor pela UFPR. Professor UFPR. Juiz Federal titular no Paraná. EMAIL: [email protected] LATTES: wwws.cnpq.br/cvlattesweb/PKG_MENU.menu?f_ cod=D51B4D1287369F6BD0B5BAA2A7BD4125# ORCID:http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4995-9928 RESUMO: É significativa a carência de estudos doutrinários sobre a dogmática e a principiologia do Direito Animal. Nesse contexto, o artigo tem o objetivo de lançar uma proposta de princípios jurídicos, exclusivos e não-exclusivos (compartilhados com outros ramos jurídicos), para o Direito Animal, extraídos do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, sobretudo do estrato constitucional, com o auxílio da teoria dos princípios de Humberto Ávila. Para tanto, enfrenta duas questões epistemológicas preliminares: a fixação da denominação e do conceito da disciplina jurídica estudada, que permitam bem identificar o objeto desse novo campo da enciclopédia jurídica. Direito Animal é a denominação proposta para fins de uniformização terminológica. O conceito para a disciplina leva em consideração o reconhecimento da sua autonomia em relação ao Direito Ambiental. Nesse particular, procede-se à desconstrução analítica do conceito proposto, para permitir a análise de seus elementos essenciais. Conforme se propõe, os princípios exclusivos ou típicos do Direito Animal são os seguintes: 1) princípio da dignidade animal; 2) princípio da universalidade; 3) princípio da primazia da liberdade natural e 4) princípio da educação animalista. Por sua vez, os princípios não-exclusivos ou compartilhados do Direito Animal têm uma listagem mais aberta, podendo ser indicados, ao menos, os seguintes: 1) princípio da precaução; 2) princípio da democracia participativa; 3) princípio do acesso à justiça e 4) princípio da proibição do retrocesso.

    J.M. COETZEE AND ANIMAL RIGHTS: ELIZABETH COSTELLO’S CHALLENGE TO PHILOSOPHY Richard Alan Northover SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ENGLISH LITERATURE IN THE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA PRETORIA, 0002, SOUTH AFRICA Supervisor: Professor David Medalie OCTOBER 2009 © University of Pretoria Abstract The thesis relates Coetzee’s focus on animals to his more familiar themes of the possibility of fiction as a vehicle for serious ethical issues, the interrogation of power and authority, a concern for the voiceless and the marginalised, a keen sense of justice and the question of secular salvation. The concepts developed in substantial analyses of The Lives of Animals and Disgrace are thereafter applied to several other works of Coetzee. The thesis attempts to position J.M. Coetzee within the animal rights debate and to assess his use of his problematic persona, Elizabeth Costello, who controversially uses reason to attack the rationalism of the Western philosophical tradition and who espouses the sympathetic imagination as a means of developing respect for animals. Costello’s challenge to the philosophers is problematised by being traced back to Plato’s original formulation of the opposition between philosophers and poets. It is argued that Costello represents a fallible Socratic figure who critiques not reason per se but an unqualified rationalism. This characterisation of Costello explains her preoccupation with raising the ethical awareness of her audience, as midwife to the birth of ideas, and perceptions of her as a wise fool, a characterisation that is confirmed by the use of Bakhtin’s notion of the Socratic dialogue as one of the precursors of the modern novel.
