The Moral Equality of Humans and Animals
ISBN: 9780230276628 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 153 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Received opinion has it that humans are morally superior to non-human animals; human interests matter more than the like interests of animals and the value of human lives is alleged to be greater than the value of nonhuman animal lives. Since this belief causes mayhem and murder, its de-mythologizing requires urgent attention.

Every autumn American football fans pack large college stadiums or crowd around grassy fields to root for their favorite teams.

Almost every facet of the game still bears their imprint: they created the All-America team, produced the first coaches, devised...

Without a Tear: Our Tragic Relationship with Animals
ISBN: 9780252071980 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Without a Tear Mark H. Bernstein begins with one of our most common and cherished moral beliefs: that it is wrong to intentionally and gratuitously inflict harm on the innocent. Over the course of the book, he shows how this apparently innocuous commitment requires that we drastically revise many of our most common practices involving nonhuman animals.
Most people who write about our ethical obligations concerning animals base their arguments on emotional appeals or contentious philosophical assumptions; Bernstein, however, argues from reasons but carries little theoretical...

On Moral Considerability: An Essay on Who Morally Matters
ISBN: 9780195123913 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this fresh and powerfully argued book, Mark Bernstein identifies the qualities that make an entity deserving of moral consideration. It is frequently assumed that only (normal) human beings count. Bernstein argues instead for "experientialism"--the view that having conscious experiences is necessary and sufficient for moral standing. He demonstrates that this position requires us to include many non-human animals in our moral realm, but not to the extent that many deep ecologists champion.
