> ABOUT THE BOOK:
> Beyond Animal Rights will interest animal-rights activists, the majority
of
> whom are women.  It helps to explain women's concern for animals by
providing
> a new theoretical basis for it.  For some time, a rich and extensive
debate
> has raged over the so-called ethic of care, which historically has been
> associated with "women's activities" such as mothering and nursing.  Carol
> Gilligan initiated this debate by contrasting women's ethic of care -- a
> "morality of responsibility" -- with men's "morality of rights."  Beyond
> Animal Rights consists of eight groundbreaking chapters by Carol J. Adams,
> Deane Curtin, Josephine Donovan, Marti Kheel, Brian Luke, Rita C. Manning,
> and Ken Shapiro.  Together, these writers create a new definition of
animal
> advocacy, one based on feminist insights, which moves beyond the limited
> concept of "rights" to establish care as a basis for the ethical treatment
of
> animals.

men's

> ground-breaking articles that extend feminist ethic-of care theory to the
> issue of animal well-being. Together, these essays -- some of which are
> published for the first time -- suggest ways that theorists may move
beyond
> the limited concept of "rights", establishing care as a basis for the
ethical
> treatment of animals. This volume should interest animal rights activists,
> the majority of whom are women, because it helps to explain women's
concern
> for animals by providing a new theoretical basis for it. Scholars and
> students in feminist studies, philosophy, and environmental studies -- as
> well as anyone concerned about human's treatment of animals -- will all
> likely be enlightened.
