Animals, Political Liberalism and Public Reason

Focusing on the contentious issue of animal treatment within a liberal society, the author highlights the existing legal framework that emphasizes animal welfare yet is met with widespread disagreement. This book addresses a gap in both political philosophy and animal ethics by proposing a new perspective that acknowledges and examines these disagreements. By starting from the differing views on the moral status of animals, the author seeks to bridge the divide between political liberalism and animal ethics, offering a fresh approach to the conversation.
