Subhuman: The Moral Psychology of Human Attitudes to Animals

New York, NY: Oup Usa (2017)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

How do we think about animals? How do we decide what they deserve and how we ought to treat them? Subhuman takes an interdisciplinary approach to these questions, drawing from research in philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, law, history, sociology, economics, and anthropology. Subhuman argues that our attitudes to nonhuman animals, both positive and negative, largely arise from our need to compare ourselves to them.
