Animal Rights; Human Obligations
The course involves an examination of the moral status of animals and the
descriptive and normative recognition of human obligations toward animals, as
determined by cultural perceptions and philosophical schools of thought,
particularly utilitarianism and deontology. We will consider the ways animals
are used to serve human ends, e.g., food, clothing, entertainment, medical and
other kinds of research, etc.; proclaimed human moral entitlements to use
animals; religious attitudes toward animals; legal protections; animal welfare
and animal rights.
