The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women . -

Genevieve Theodora McNutt 2 3 Abstract This thesis examines the work of antiquary and scholar Joseph Ritson (1752-1803) in publishing significant and influential collections of early English and Scottish literature, including the first collection of medieval romance, by going beyond the biographical approaches to Ritson’s work typical of nineteenth- and twentieth- century accounts, incorporating an analysis of Ritson’s contributions to specific fields into a study of the context which made his work possible. -
A Diet for a Sensitive Soul: Vegetarianism in Eighteenth-Century Britain
A Diet for a Sensitive Soul: Vegetarianism in Eighteenth-Century Britain Anita Guerrini While vegetarianism has a long history in Western culture, it reemerged forcefully in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain. Three main motivations for vegetarianism converged in this period: religious, medical, and moral. In addition, a vegetarian diet entered mainstream medical and popular thought in the works of the physician George Cheyne. By the time of Joseph Ritson's Essay on Abstinence from Animal Food in 1802, however, vegetarianism was about to rejoin the irrational fringe, exemplified in the nineteenth century by Sylvester Graham and his followers. 1 In this essay, I shall focus on three vegetarians of the period: the radical hatter Thomas Tryon (1634-1703), George Cheyne (1671-1743), and the man of letters Joseph Ritson (1752-1803). Cheyne's work, especially his Essay of Health and Long Life (1724) and The English Malady (1733), defined the nascent concept of the sensitive character and explicitly connected it to diet and lifestyle. To Cheyne, a vegetarian diet was preeminently a diet for the sensitive soul. Over the century, the sensitive soul negotiated a path from the overtly religious Tryon to the covertly religious Cheyne to the professedly antireligious Ritson. To each, in addition, vegetarianism was part of a wider critique of contemporary society. Tryon was one of a number of religiously motivated vegetarians in the period following the English Civil War. 2 The context of his ideas can be delineated by examining an earlier -

NURTURING the NEW CREATION: REFLECTIONS on a WESLEYAN TRAJECTORY Randy L
In Wesleyan Perspectives on the New Creation, 21–52. Edited by M. Douglas Meeks. Nashville, TN: Kingswood Books, 2004. (This .pdf version reproduces pagination of printed form) NURTURING THE NEW CREATION: REFLECTIONS ON A WESLEYAN TRAJECTORY Randy L. Maddox Nature, the world, has no value, no interest for Christians. The Christian thinks only of himself and the salvation of his soul.1 When Ludwig Feuerbach issued this dismissive characterization of Christian teaching in the mid-nineteenth century, he spoke for a growing group of “cultured despisers” of traditional Christian soteriology and eschatology. Feuerbach argued that preoccupation with a mythical heaven above led Christians to neglect both human culture and the natural world below. Moreover, the purely spiritual nature of this posited heavenly existence, he contended, inclined Christians toward a self- contradictory denial of the body with its physical needs and desires.2 Feuerbach’s ability to buttress his characterizations with a number of quotations from traditional Christian teachers made it impossible for theologians to ignore his charge. Indeed, it became a standard foil for main-stream Christian treatments of eschatology in the twentieth century.3 Many of these have acquiesced to the claim that the model of future eternal life in Christian scripture and tradition was a human construct which encouraged disregard for the present human situation, and turned their 1Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Christianity (New York: Harper & Row, 1957), 287. 2Cf. ibid, 287–92, 308–17. 3For helpful surveys of discussions of eschatology in the twentieth century see Brian Hebblethwaite, The Christian Hope (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1984), 131–98; and Christoph Schwöbel, “Last Things first?

Deep Vegetarianism
CHAPTER A Historical-Ph ilosophical Overview 1. Learning from the History of Vegetarianism Two approaches to the history of ideas have relevance to the topic of vegetarianism. One of these is the view, suggested by William James (1842-1910), that theories pass through three “classic” stages: “First, you know, a new theory is attacked as absurd; then it is admitted to be true, but obvious and in- significant; finally it is seen to be so important that its adver- saries claim that they themselves discovered it.”’ James’s metatheory about theories may be applied to ideas equally well. A catchy but oversimplified formula, it derives its force from the notions that the truth will triumph, and that a baptism by fire must first be endured by positions that initially defy con- ventional wisdom, human prejudices, or vested interests. Usual examples include such theories as the fundamental equality of all human beings, the heliocentric solar system, the evolution of species, and the nonexistence of absolute truth. While some 1 2 Chapter 1 might contend that vegetarianism is an idea whose time has ar- rived, it seems unlikely that, even if this were so, such a claim could be construed as implying that vegetarianism has passed through all of these stages, let alone the first. Vegetarianism-long well-established in the East-is no longer being ignored in the West by such prominent portions of society as opinion-makers, publishers, and the service sector, but it is still frequently subject to ridicule and hostile/aggres- sive or suspicious/skeptical interrogation. It is somewhat easier to place attitudes toward vegetarianism on a scale of develop- ment or evolution if we acknowledge that the broader concept of animals as beings having or deserving moral status-an ini- portant ground for vegetarianism-is itself in its infancy in terms of social acceptance, normative affirmation, and public advocacy. -

Beforethe Civil War, some Americans gave their attention to the mistreatment of animals as a social problem, exploring its religious, moral, and legal dimensions. Although no sustained effortsto prevent cruelty to animals ensued, these Americans explored some of the same issues that would lead a later generation to found animal protectionsocieties. A handfulof American thinkers, forinst ance, joined their European contemporaries in settling upon animals' capacity for suffering as the decisive reason for according them better treatment. Nineteenth century Evangelicalism's embrace of Old Testament admonitions on the moral duty to treat animals well reinforced such concern. During the sameperiod, the kindness-to animals-ethic gained recognition as a critical constituent of childhood socialization.

With Every Living Creature That Is with You: Exploring Relational Ontology and Non-Human Animals
With Every Living Creature that is with You: Exploring Relational Ontology and Non-Human Animals by Allison Marie Covey A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College. © Copyright by Allison Marie Covey, 2020 With Every Living Creature that is with You: Exploring Relational Ontology and Non-Human Animals Allison Marie Covey Doctor of Philosophy University of St. Michael’s College 2020 Abstract Despite the progressive contributions of Laudato Si’, Catholic theology today often fails to differentiate between non-human animals, inanimate objects, and nature broadly defined. The only line drawn with consistency is that between humanity and the rest of Creation. Anthropocentric instrumentalism has edged out a Trinitarian relational ontology of non-human Creation rooted in both Scripture and Tradition. This dissertation argues that the anthropocentric instrumentalisation of non-human Creation is not a necessary nor authentic position of the Christian faith. It proposes instead that Christianity’s failure to recognise Creation’s inherent goodness and theocentric telos has been the result of developments along the West’s passage into modernity. A restoration of Christianity’s pre-modern sense of theocentric relationality is both possible and desirable for countering modernity’s corruption of Creation theology and theological anthropology. This dissertation formulates, from the existing tradition, a consistent and Trinitarian ontology of non-human animals that acknowledges them as beings existing for and in loving relationship with the common Creator.
