Brings together translations of classical passages which contributed to ancient debate on the nature of animals and their relationship to human beings. This title discusses questions such as: Do animals differ from humans intellectually? Were animals created for the use of humankind? Should animals be used for food, sport, or sacrifice?
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.
