A teoria dos direitos animais de tom regan

Autor: Luciano Rocha Santana

Número de Páginas: 193

RESUMO: Além de uma ideia filosófica, a expressão “direitos animais” designa um crescente movimento de justiça social, cujo programa revolucionário não se contenta com reformas no sistema atual, visando ao trato mais humanitário dos animais, mas busca a abolição desse sistema baseado na exploração institucionalizada deles. Esta tese teve por objetivo principal analisar as contribuições e deficiências da visão dos direitos animais de Tom Regan, tendo como hipótese de trabalho avaliar em que medida tal visão constitui uma argumentação adequada ao reconhecimento moral dos animais não humanos. Para cumprir tal objetivo, como recurso metodológico, utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental de caráter exploratório, descritivo, sobretudo, explicativo e analítico das obras do citado autor, tomando-se como fonte literária principal a obra The Case for Animal Rights. A investigação revela que a preocupação reganiana primordial é a nível macro, não micro, questionando a moralidade de costumes, organizações e atividades em sentido amplo, como a pecuária e a pesquisa biomédica. Embora não seja completa, sem embargo, tal visão reconhece, explica ...

El alma de los animales / The Soul of Animals

Autor: Gary Kowalski

Número de Páginas: 158

¿Por qué los elefantes entierran a sus muertos? ¿Por qué cantan los pájaros o por qué bailan las grullas? ¿Aprecian el arte los animales? ¿Distinguen la diferencia entre el bien y el mal? ¿Experimentan sobrecogimiento y asombro? ... En esta nueva edición revisada de su célebre libro, Gary Kowalski combina historias conmovedoras con sólidos datos científicos para demostrar al hombre que las demás criaturas no son objetos insensibles desprovistos de sentimientos e intelecto, sino que también son seres pensantes que albergan sentimientos y tienen una vida espiritual interior. Gran parte de nuestra sociedad considera a los animales como materias primas, objetos de consumo o recursos para fabricar utensilios de distinto tipo. A los animales los usamos. Nos los comemos. Experimentamos con ellos. Ni nos embrujan ni nos deleitan, sin imaginarnos todo lo que nos estamos perdiendo. El alma de los animales es un libro elocuente y oportuno que nos puede ayudar a recuperar la conexión con las criaturas (a veces misteriosas o maravillosas) con las que compartimos la aventura de este planeta extraordinario. Es un libro precioso; pero también es un libro sanador porque nos alerta ...

The Rights of Nature

Autor: Roderick Frazier Nash

Número de Páginas: 306

Charting the history of contemporary philosophical and religious beliefs regarding nature, Roderick Nash focuses primarily on changing attitudes toward nature in the United States. His work is the first comprehensive history of the concept that nature has rights and that American liberalism has, in effect, been extended to the nonhuman world. “A splendid book. Roderick Nash has written another classic. This exploration of a new dimension in environmental ethics is both illuminating and overdue.”—Stewart Udall “His account makes history ‘come alive.’”—Sierra “So smoothly written that one almost does not notice the breadth of scholarship that went into this original and important work of environmental history.”—Philip Shabecoff, New York Times Book Review “Clarifying and challenging, this is an essential text for deep ecologists and ecophilosophers.”—Stephanie Mills, Utne Reader

Cause animale et écoféminisme

Autor: Laurence Hansen-løve , Josephine Donovan

Número de Páginas: 69

Il existe d’importantes connexions entre l’assujettissement des femmes et la volonté de maîtriser le monde vivant. De nombreux philosophes en ont fait la démonstration. Pour la Française Françoise d’Eaubonne (1920-2005), à qui on doit le néologisme « écoféminisme », l’accaparement immémorial de la fertilité des sols et de la fécondité des femmes ne sont pas une conséquence du système patriarcal : ils en constituent la racine. Dès lors, il ne s’agit plus de « changer le monde », mais d’imposer un grand renversement, afin que demain « il puisse y avoir encore un monde ». Josephine Donovan montre ici quels sont les prolongements de cette conception détonante. Elle explicite en particulier ses retombées en ce qui concerne notre relation aux animaux. Dans le sillage de l’École de Francfort (Theodor W. Adorno et Max Horkheimer), mais aussi d’Edmund Husserl, elle explique en quel sens cette nouvelle approche dépasse en radicalité celle des partisans de la libération animale. L’éthique écoféministe qu’elle appelle de ses vœux pourrait modifier en profondeur l’idée que nous nous faisons de notre humanité – allant même parfois...

The Intrinsic Value of Nature

Autor: Leena Vilkka

Número de Páginas: 185

What is intrinsic value? What is the origin of value? Are people always superior to nature? This book is a philosophical analysis of the human relationship to the non-human world. It is a pioneering study of the philosophy of nature-conservation in relation to the discussion of intrinsic value. Vilkka develops a naturalistic or naturocentric theory of value that is based on ethical extensionism and pluralism. Vilkka analyzes natural values and environmental attitudes: zoocentrism, biocentrism, and ecocentrism. This book forms a taxonomy for nature having intrinsic value. The theory of intrinsic value is based on naturocentric and naturogenic values. The book questions the thesis of weak anthropocentrism that denies the existence of naturogenic values. In Vilkka's theory, animals and nature are the origin of value. She defends the existence of zoogenic and biogenic values in the non-human world and discusses the possibility of ecogenic value, nature as a whole having value independent of human or animal minds. Vilkka analyzes the goodness and rights of nature, the problem of priorities, and ecological humanism. A naturocentric recommendation is that the well-being of animals and...

Animal, Vegetable, or Woman?

Autor: Kathryn Paxton George

Número de Páginas: 240

Kathryn Paxton George challenges the view held by noted philosophers Tom Regan and Peter Singer and ecofeminists Carol Adams and Deane Curtin who assume the Principle of Equality to argue that no one should eat meat or animal products. She shows how these renowned individuals also violate the Principle of Equality, because they place women, children, adolescents, the elderly, and many others in a subordinate position. She reviews the principal arguments of these major ethical thinkers, offers a detailed examination of the nutritional literature on vegetarianism, and shows how this inconsistency arises and why it recurs in every major argument for ethical vegetarianism. Included is her own view about what we should eat, which she calls "feminist aesthetic semi-vegetarianism."

Animal Ethics and Philosophy

Autor: Elisa Aaltola , John Hadley

Número de Páginas: 237

Debate in animal ethics needs reenergizing. To date, philosophers have focused on a relatively limited number of specific themes whilst leaving metaphilosophical issues that require urgent attention largely unexamined. This timely collection of essays brings together new theory and critical perspectives on key topics in animal ethics, foregrounding questions relating to moral status, moral epistemology and moral psychology. Is an individualistic approach based upon capacities the best way to ground the moral status of non-human animals or should philosophers pursue relational perspectives? What does it mean to “know” animals and “speak” for them? What is the role of emotions such as disgust, empathy, and love, in animal ethics and how does emotion inform the rationalism inherent in analytic animal ethics theory? The collection aims to broaden the scope of animal ethics, rendering it more inclusive of important contemporary philosophical themes and pushing the discipline in new directions.

In Defense of the Land Ethic

Autor: J. Baird Callicott

Número de Páginas: 340

In Defense of the Land Ethic: Essays in Environmental Philosophy brings into a single volume J. Baird Callicott’s decade-long effort to articulate, defend, and extend the seminal environmental philosophy of Aldo Leopold. A leading voice in this new field, Callicott sounds the depths of the proverbial iceberg, the tip of which is “The Land Ethic.” “The Land Ethic,” Callicott argues, is traceable to the moral psychology of David Hume and Charles Darwin’s classical account of the origin and evolution of Hume’s moral sentiments. Leopold adds an ecological vision of organic nature to these foundations. How can an evolutionary and ecological environmental ethic bridge the gap between is and ought? How may wholes—species, ecosystems, and the biosphere itself—be the direct objects of moral concern? How may the intrinsic value of nonhuman natural entities and nature as a whole be justified? In addition to confronting and resolving these distinctly philosophical queries, Callicott engages in lively debate with proponents of animal liberation and rights—finally to achieve an integrated theory of animal welfare and environmental ethics. He critically discusses the land ethic that is ...

Doing Environmental Ethics

Autor: Robert Traer

Número de Páginas: 333

Doing Environmental Ethics explains how we may transform our fossil-fuel-burning economy, which continues to intensify our ecological crisis, into a circular and ecological economy. The text resists political corruption and personal greed by gleaning ethical insights from our philosophical and religious cultures and by embracing the scientific Gaia hypothesis for the Earth. Its reasoning ascribes intrinsic worth to uplifting duties and rights as well as inspiring virtues and relationships, and tests applying these values by predicting the likely consequences of acting on them. It affirms all life has value for itself, and that human life also values reasoning and feelings and being ethical. The third edition examines US and international environmental policies through 2018. It analyzes the Trump administration’s repudiation of the environmental policies of the Obama administration and its new rules slashing the social costs of climate change. The text reviews a draft UN treaty that would impose human rights and environmental constraints on transnational corporations, but it also highlights outstanding examples of corporate upcycling and low-carbon innovation. Finally, the third...

Animals as Persons

Autor: Gary L. Francione

Número de Páginas: 254

A prominent and respected philosopher of animal rights law and ethical theory, Gary L. Francione is known for his criticism of animal welfare laws and regulations, his abolitionist theory of animal rights, and his promotion of veganism and nonviolence as the baseline principles of the abolitionist movement. In this collection, Francione advances the most radical theory of animal rights to date. Unlike Peter Singer, Francione maintains that we cannot morally justify using animals under any circumstances, and unlike Tom Regan, Francione's theory applies to all sentient beings, not only to those who have more sophisticated cognitive abilities.

Vegan pourquoi comment

Vegan ! En 2010, presque personne ne connaissait ce mot. Treize ans plus tard seulement, tous les médias en ont parlé, et les produits véganes sont de plus en plus nombreux dans le commerce. On peut être végane sans être antispéciste, mais on ne peut pas être antispéciste sans être végane. L'ouvrage commence par rappeler la signification de nombreux termes concernant ces sujets. Ensuite, il retrace les principales idées qui ont fait naître le véganisme, à travers les esprits les plus influents : des philosophes grecs, en passant par le premier vegan connu (Donald Watson, né en 1910, mort en 2005 à 95 ans, après 81 ans de végétarisme), jusqu'aux penseurs d'aujourd'hui. Le 27 novembre 2015, je suis devenu végane du jour au lendemain. J'explique comment et surtout pourquoi.

The Moral Rights of Animals

Autor: Mylan Engel Jr. , Gary Lynn Comstock

Número de Páginas: 328

Edited by Mylan Engel Jr. and Gary Lynn Comstock, this book employs different ethical lenses, including classical deontology, libertarianism, commonsense morality, virtue ethics, utilitarianism, and the capabilities approach, to explore the philosophical basis for the strong animal rights view, which holds that animals have moral rights equal in strength to the rights of humans, while also addressing what are undoubtedly the most serious challenges to the strong animal rights stance, including the challenges posed by rights nihilism, the “kind” argument against animal rights, the problem of predation, and the comparative value of lives. In addition, contributors explore the practical import of animal rights both from a social policy standpoint and from the standpoint of personal ethical decisions concerning what to eat and whether to hunt animals. Unlike other volumes on animal rights, which focus primarily on the legal rights of animals, and unlike other anthologies on animal ethics, which tend to cover a wide variety of topics but only devote a few articles to each topic, this volume focuses exclusively on the question of whether animals have moral rights and the practical...

Animal Property Rights

Autor: John Hadley

Número de Páginas: 154

Animal Property Rights: A Theory of Habitat Rights for Wild Animals represents the first attempt to extend liberal property rights theory across the species barrier to animals. It broadens the traditional focus of animal rights beyond basic rights to life and bodily integrity to rights to the natural areas in which animal reside. John Hadley argues that both proponents of animal rights and environmentalists ought to support animal property rights because protecting habitat promotes ecological values and helps to ensure animals live free from human interference. Hadley’s focus is pragmatist – he locates animal property rights within the institution of property as it exists today in liberal democracies. He argues that attempts to justify animal property rights on labor and first occupancy grounds will likely fail; instead, he grounds animal property rights upon the importance of habitat for the satisfaction of animals’ basic needs. The potential of animal property rights as a way of reinvigorating existing public policy responses to the problem of biodiversity loss due to habitat destruction is thoroughly explored. Using the concept of guardianship for cognitively impaired...
