Ein dringender Appell zum Schutz aller Tiere von der berühmten Philosophin

Weltweit sind Tiere in Not: sei es durch die Zerstörung ihrer Lebensräume, sei es durch die Qualen der industriellen Tierhaltung, durch Wilderei oder durch die Vernachlässigung von Haustieren, die wir angeblich so lieben.

Taking up three urgent problems of social justice neglected by current theories and thus harder to tackle in practical terms and everyday life, Martha Nussbaum seeks a theory of social justice that can guide us to a richer, more responsive...
