Matters of Life and Death: New Introductory Essays in Moral Philosophy

Tom Regan

McGraw-Hill Companies

This important anthology consists of original essays that explore issues in environmental ethics. Some of the essays focus mainly on the interplay between the environment and the interests of today's population while others place considerable importance on our environmental policies and our obligations to generations yet unborn. Some deal mainly with the environmental ties that bind us to the members of our own community whereas others discuss environmental questions against the backdrop of our duties to people who live in distant nations. Still others inquire into the moral status of the nonhuman denizens of the earth, both animals and plants; indeed, sometimes it is the earth itself whose moral status is the object of inquiry. In short, the essays clearly examine a rich variety of concerns about the environment.

Case for Animal Rights

Do all animals have rights? Is it morally wrong to use mice or dogs in medical research, or rabbits and cows as food? How ought we resolve conflicts between the interests of humans and those of other animals? Philosophical inquiry is essential in addressing such questions; the answers given must have enormous practical importance. Here for the first time in the same volume, the animal rights debate is argued deeply and fully by the two most articulate and influential philosophers representing the opposing camps. Each makes his case in turn to the opposing case. The arguments meet head on: Are we humans morally justified in using animals as we do? A vexed and enduring controversy here receives its deepest and most eloquent exposition.
