| Sumario: | This open access book revises Kants ethical thought in one of its most notorious respects: its exclusion of animals from moral consideration. The book gives readers in animal ethics an accessible introduction to Kants views on our duties to others, and his view that we have only indirect duties regarding animals. It then investigates how one would have to depart from Kant in order to recognise that animals matter morally for their own sake. Particular attention is paid to Kants Formula of Humanity,' the role of autonomy and the moral law, as well as Kants notions of practical reason and animal instinct. The result is a deliberately amended version of Kantianism which nevertheless remains faithful to central aspects of Kants thought. The books final part illustrates the frameworks use in applied contexts, addressing the issues of using animals as mere means, the ethics of veganism and vegetarianism, and environmental protection. Nico Dario Muller shows how, when furnished with duties to animals, Kant's moral philosophy can be a powerful resource for animal ethicists. Nico Dario Muller is a philosopher and postdoctoral researcher in ethics at the University of Basel, Switzerland. |
