  Explores Plutarch's survival in the argument that animals are rational and sentient, and that we, as humans, must take notice of their interests. Examining his three animal-related treatises, as well as passages from his ethical treatises, this book discusses arguments that foreshadow those found in the works of other animal rights philosophers.
