Animals and Misanthropy

Beschreibung

This engaging volume explores the claim that misanthropy is a justified attitude towards humankind in the light of how human beings both compare with and treat animals. Drawing on both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions David Cooper offers a unique insight into the complex field of animal ethics.
