Situating Animals in Hare's Two-Level Utilitarianism

摘要

With his 1998 book, In Nature's Interests? Gary Varner proved to be one of our most original and trenchant of environmental ethicists. Here, in the first of a promised two-volume set, he makes his mark on another field, animal ethics, leaving an even deeper imprint. Thoroughly grounded in the relevant philosophical and scientific literatures, Varner is as precise in analysis as he is wide-ranging in scope.
