Why It's OK to Eat Meat (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dan C. Shahar argues it's entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat. Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world's problems to tackle, in what ways, and to what extents, and hence people can decline to take up this particular form of activism without doing anything wrong.

Rezensionen

"This is a fantastic volume. Shahar offers an accessible, compelling, and compact defense of the permissibility of eating meat-it's perfect for the classroom. At the same time, he's written a book that's full of material that pushes this important conversation forward. (His discussion of the Stag Hunt alone is worth the sticker price.) Whoever you are and whatever you make of his conclusions, Shahar's arguments are worth careful consideration."
Bob Fischer, Texas State University

"Anyone asking themselves whether they should become a vegetarian will find this book to be an invaluable resource. For the difficult to balance criteria of accessibility and comprehensiveness, Why It's Okay to Eat Meat is unsurpassed. To Shahar's credit, the issues are given such a balanced treatment that some readers will surely reach the opposite conclusion to the one expressed in the title."
Paul B. Thompson, Michigan State University

"In the course of presenting state-of-the-art arguments that it's OK to eat meat, Shahar succeeds in getting us to focus on the bigger picture. What actions and attitudes actually help us advance justice and wellbeing? Which are just virtue-signaling sideshows? Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike owe it to us all to take these challenging questions seriously."
Mark Budolfson, Rutgers University
