ABOUT THE BOOK:
Do all animals have rights? Is it morally wrong to use mice or dogs in
medical research, or rabbits and cows as food? How ought we resolve conflicts
between the interests of humans and those of other animals? Philosophical
inquiry is essential in addressing such questions; the answers given must
have enormous practical importance. Here for the first time in the same
volume, the animal rights debate is argued deeply and fully by the two most
articulate and influential philosophers representing the opposing camps.
Each
makes his case in turn to the opposing case. The arguments meet head on:
Are
we humans morally justified in using animals as we do? A vexed and enduring
controversy here receives its deepest and most eloquent exposition.
"Tom Regan is without doubt the world's greatest defender of the rights of
animals. Carl Cohen is one of Regan's notable critics. Here,
between the
pages of a single volume, are important new contributions from each of these
authors. The resulting text is required reading for everyone interested
in
this critical issue."
~Gary Comstock, Iowa State University
"A tour de force of brilliant debate. No other 'seeing the issues from
both
sides' book comes close to this one in the sustained power of argumentation
and in its thorough canvassing of the issues surrounding everything that
might be said about the ethical treatment of animals. Quite simply, the best
book of its kind."
~Sidney Gendin, Eastern Michigan University
