  Can animals be regarded as part of the moral community? To what extent, if at all, do they have moral rights? Are we wrong to eat them? This title traces the background of these debates from Aristotle to Darwin and sets out the views of numerous contemporary philosophers with ethical theories ranging from utilitarianism to eco-feminism.
