Opis

There is now widespread agreement that many non-human animals are sentient, and that this fact has important moral and political implications. This book is devoted to sketching what this 'sentientist politics' might look like.

Recenzje

an audacious work ... Cochrane meticulously disassembles the relations argument, the value of ecosystems argument, the unintended consequences objection, the zooification of nature/end of wilderness argument, and the overburdening cost argument — all with surgical precision.
