Hayvan Hakları

Can animals have moral rights? If so, what does this mean? What kind of mental lives do animals have, and what is the source of our knowledge of their well-being? Building on these questions, DeGrazia develops a crucial argument about the nature of our relationship with animals. Aside from the basic premises of humans' relationship with the animal world, it initiates a comprehensive discussion from the legitimacy bases of spectacle areas such as zoos to the situation of animals used as guinea pigs in medical experiments.

David DeGrazia, a professor of philosophy at George Washington University, who made a motivating and illuminating introduction that basically extends to the physical and moral components of human existence conditions, divided his work into seven sections:

Part I – Introduction

II. Chapter - Moral Status of Animals

III. Episode - What Animals Are Like

IV. Chapter - The Harms of Suffering, Confinement and Death

Chapter V - Eating Meat

VI. Section - Pets and Zookeepers

VII. Section - Research on Animals
