Obligations to animals are not necessarily based on rights
Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 8 (2):161-170 (1995)
Abstract
I offer a very qualified argument to the effect that rights are grounded in a certain sort of prejudice that privileges individualistic and perhaps masculinist ways of thinking about moral life. I also propose that we look carefully at other conceptions of social ontology and moral life, including the much discussed care conception.Author's Profile
