Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

After lives filled with deep suffering 74 billion animals are slaughtered worldwide every year on factory farms. Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry? In this book two college students – a meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian – discuss this question in a series of dialogues conducted over four days. The issues they cover include: how intelligence affects the badness of pain whether consumers are responsible for the practices of an industry how individual choices affect an industry whether farm animals are better off living on factory farms than not existing at all whether meat-eating is natural whether morality protects those who cannot understand morality whether morality protects those who are not members of society whether humans alone possess souls whether different creatures have different degrees of consciousness why extreme animal welfare positions sound crazy and the role of empathy in moral judgment.

It offers abstracts of the most important books and articles related to the ethics of vegetarianism and veganism. Key Features: Thoroughly reviews the common arguments on both sides of the debate.

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly improved since his response has become the most revived black play in Britain from its original production at the Royal Court in 1958 to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port of Spain Trinidad in the mid-1940s showing how each of the characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move to the England in the post-war era. For some of them these dreams of a new life became a reality but they were experienced differently across genders and generations. | Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Essays on the Transformation of India's Agrarian Economy

Essays on the Transformation of India's Agrarian Economy

The central problem to which this book first published in 1984 is addressed is the transformation of agrarian structure as it historically evolved in India. The term ‘structure’ however has multiple meanings. The sense in which the term is used refers to the system of production including the pattern of its composition in terms of micro-units of production and the social and economic relations by which they are integrated. This concrete analysis and examination of the evidence of Indian agriculture is undertaken from this perspective and contributes to the theory of agrarian change as well as an interpretation of the development of Indian agriculture. | Essays on the Transformation of India's Agrarian Economy

The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

Peter Strawson (1919–2006) was one of the leading British philosophers of his generation and an influential figure in a golden age for British philosophy between 1950 and 1970. The Bounds of Sense is one of the most influential books ever written about Kant’s philosophy and is one of the key philosophical works of the late twentieth century. Whilst probably best known for its criticism of Kant’s transcendental idealism it is also famous for the highly original manner in which Strawson defended and developed some of Kant’s fundamental insights into the nature of subjectivity experience and knowledge – at a time when few philosphers were engaging with Kant’s ideas. The book had a profound effect on the interpretation of Kant’s philosophy when it was first published in 1966 and continues to influence discussion of Kant the soundness of transcendental arguments and debates in epistemology and metaphysics generally. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Lucy Allais. | The Bounds of Sense An Essay on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason
