内容説明

In Search of Consistency is the most comprehensive examination to date of moral theories and animal ethics. This large volume unveils and explores the work of Tom Regan (rights theory), Peter Singer (utilitarian), Paul Taylor (environmental ethics), and Andrew Linzey (theology), not only digging deep into critical analysis of extant theories, but feeding the flames of a now flourishing dialogue at the intersections of animal ethics, environmental ethics, and religious ethics. This book ultimately presents a new approach-the Minimize Harm Maxim, which exposes, through real and hypothetical scenarios, common practices as patently irrational and raises questions few authors are willing to entertain about the way we value life and our attitudes toward death. At every turn, In Search of Consistency reminds that ethics carry an expectation of action, that ethics are intended to guide how we live.
