Animal Rights

• Thesis Text:
  1. The motivation for including this topic – which is in its primarily ethical aspect largely tangential to my Thesis (which focuses on metaphysics) – is at least fivefold:-
     1. Firstly, as Locke noted, personal identity is a forensic² matter.
     2. As I’m inclined towards animalism³, the status of other animals is relevant – in particular in resisting the claims of those (eg. Lynne Rudder Baker) that when a First Person Perspective⁴ comes into existence, we get a major ontological⁵ change.
     3. Some animal rights theorists – eg. Gary Francione – want to give (at least some) animals the legal and moral standing of persons⁶.
     4. Other contemporary philosophers – eg. Peter Carruthers – argue that animals have no rights at all.
     5. My view is somewhere in the middle. I’m not a fan of rights (in the absence of a contract), but think that human beings have duties to one another and to the higher animals in virtue of the others’ needs.
  2. A passage in the advertising blurb for "Calarco (Matthew) - Thinking Through Animals: Identity, Difference, Indistinction" is:-
     • The rapidly expanding field of critical animal studies now offers a myriad of theoretical and philosophical positions from which to choose.
     • It uses three rubrics — identity, difference, and indistinction — to differentiate three major paths of thought about animals.
       1. The identity approach aims to establish continuity among human beings and animals so as to grant animals equal access to the ethical and political community.
       2. The difference framework views the animal world as containing its own richly complex and differentiated modes of existence in order to allow for a more expansive ethical and political worldview.
       3. The indistinction approach argues that we should abandon the notion that humans are unique in order to explore new ways of conceiving human-animal relations.
     • Each approach is interrogated for its relative strengths and weaknesses, with specific emphasis placed on the kinds of transformational potential it contains.
       
  3. A fairly recent book that catalogues the atrocities and discusses the issues is "Ricard (Matthieu) - A Plea for the Animals: The Moral, Philosophical, and Evolutionary Imperative to Treat All Beings with Compassion".

• ---

  Further Remarks
  1. Discussion of the capacities – cognitive and otherwise – and metaphysical questions involving the individuation and persistence conditions of animals – human and others – will feature in the other Note.
  2. There needs to be a division of labour between this Note and that on Animals⁷. My intention is that only moral issues be discussed in this Note – and in particular those issues that affect or reflect the moral status of animals, whether human or not, or persons or not.
