This book makes a novel contribution to animal ethics in showing the range and richness of ideas offered to these fields by diverse Asian traditions. Using Asian perspectives to explore crucial ontological, ethical and political questions, contributors analyse humanism and post-humanism in Asian and comparative traditions before focusing on the special ethical relations between humans and particular species of animals.
