Animal Rights and the Problem of Proximity
International Journal of Applied Philosophy 12 (1):51-61 (1998)
| Abstract | This paper argues that due to considerations of proximity of particular humans to particular (nonhuman) animals, and to the impact this proximity has on the obligations felt by those humans to those animals, an animal rights strategy as a means of specifying what obligations humans really do have toward animals cannot be successful. The good news, however; is that it is out of these proximity relations that we can begin to understand just what obligations humans properly do have toward animals | |||||||||
