Description
Book SynopsisJust Fodder addresses ethical and political questions arising from thinking about animals as eaters rather than as foodstuffs. Josh Milburn offers a novel theory of animal rights that insists that figuring out the full range of our obligations to animals requires asking questions about the nature and circumstances of our relationships with them.
Trade Review“[Just Fodder] brings a significant and imperative contribution for animal advocates (and/or activists), social scientists, philosophers and other academic sectors parties to think about and understand the animal-human relationship from a broader point-of-view. For animal lovers, animal activists or animal advocates who have (or don't have) relationships with animals, it is worth reading this book and thinking more profoundly about the ethical questions raised by the author.” The Vegan Society
“Just Fodder paves the way for a new road of enquiry into a topic that is not itself new at all: we have been directly or indirectly impacting on animals’ diets for millennia. That philosophers—to say nothing of political theorists—have largely failed to seriously address the ethics of feeding animals is likely a reflection of how they have, until relatively recently, failed to take animal ethics in general seriously.* Just Fodder*—beyond being itself a lucid and thoughtful account of an important topic—is therefore a heartening indication of the current state of animal ethics, and an exciting sign of the inquiries still to come.” *Journal of Moral Philosophy *
“The book is a very valuable contribution to a debate that we must eventually have in our societies.” Daily Philosophy
