Items related to Animals And Why They Matter (Pelican S.)
In "Animals and Why They Matter", Mary Midgley examines the barriers that our traditions have erected between man and animals, and argues that the often ridiculed subject of animal rights is an issue crucially related to such problems within the human community as racism, sexism, and age discrimination. The book brings together two intellectual currents: an increased scientific understanding and public appreciation of animals, and an increasing tendency by philosophers to extend moral questions beyond the barrier of our own species. Mary Midgley has published "Beast and Man", on the topic of human uniqueness, and "Heart and Mind", on moral psychology.

Review:
"This is a good and readable, though not easy, book, and it is written with such sincerity that it will force readers to consider more deeply the question of exactly what sort of rights animals—human beings included—have."
—Christian Science Monitor
From the Back Cover:
—Christian Science Monitor
"Midgley demolishes some of the most frequently heard arguments against the protection of animals."
—New York Review of Books
In Animals and Why They Matter, Mary Midgley examines the barriers that our traditions have erected between human beings and animals, and reveals that the too-often ridiculed subject of animal rights is an issue crucially related to such problems within the human community as racism, sexism, and age discrimination.
