What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

Philosophers Bob Fischer and Anja Jauernig agree that human society often treats animals in indefensible ways and that all animals morally matter; they disagree on whether humans and animals morally matter equally. In What Do We Owe Other Animals?: A Debate Fischer and Jauernig square off over this central question in animal ethics. Jauernig defends the view that all living beings morally matter equally and are owed compassion on account of which we are also obligated to adopt a vegan diet. Fischer denies that we have an obligation to become vegans and argues for the position that humans morally matter more than all other living creatures. The two authors each offer a clear well-developed opening statement a direct response to the other’s statement and then a response to the other’s response. Along the way they explore central questions like: What kind of beings matter morally? What kind of obligations do we have towards other animals? How demanding can we reasonably expect these obligations to be? Do our individual consumer choices such as the choice to purchase factory-farmed animal products make a difference to the wellbeing of animals? The debate is helpfully framed by introductions and conclusions to each of the major parts and by smaller introductions to each of the sub-sections. A Foreword by Dustin Crummett sets the context for the debate within a larger discussion of sentience moral standing reason-guided compassion and the larger field of animal ethics. Key Features Showcases the presentation and defense of two points of view on the moral worth of non-human animals Provides frequent summaries of previously covered material Includes a topically-organized list of Further Readings and a Glossary of all specialized vocabulary | What Do We Owe Other Animals?

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

When it comes to sex the Bible is marred by inequality. To address the consequences of that What the Bible Says About Sex asserts that modern perspectives on sexuality and gender should be separated from the more constraining historical views of traditional biblical interpretation. What does the Bible say about sexuality? How have traditions of biblical interpretation influenced our understanding of sex and gender? What the Bible Says About Sex answers that and many other questions. Not shy it analyzes why the Church claimed dominion over marriage while the female body remained a source of potential evil. It wrestles with how sexuality is used not only in the past but also in the present to reinforce notions of honor and how it can be used to manipulate others. Deftly it handles a discussion of semen as both profane and the seed of life. It looks brazenly at the pornographic and the erotic passages of the Bible and how traditions of interpretation veiled them. With the Bible frequently invoked to support arguments in the present age over the moral limits of sexuality and gender having a greater awareness of what the Bible says about sex and how it is and has been interpreted is critical now more than ever. What the Bible Says About Sex is suitable for students scholars and the general reader with an interest in sexuality and the Bible and sex and desire in both ancient and modern Christianity. | What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

This is an original accessible book for scholars students activists and the general public on the greatest crisis the world has faced. The authors challenge the widespread notion that a green and peaceful set of technological reforms in the current economic and political system – perhaps a “green capitalism” – can prevent disaster. Dying for Capitalism analyzes the “triangle of extinction” that links capitalism environmental destruction and militarism as a system that cannot sustain life on the planet. The authors analyze how the extinction triangle evolved historically how it functions globally as integral to the world capitalist order and how the United States has become the dominant “extinction nation. ” They also show how recent anti-democratic and anti-scientific cultural and political forces intensify denial of the threat and subordinate health and survival to profit and extreme concentrated power. The book offers a “slender path” of social and political transformation that can prevent catastrophe. The path requires moving beyond current ruling systems. But possibilities of survival arise from action at local state regional and global levels through multiple strategies and movements that already exist. The authors draw on the history of abolitionism and emancipation from slavery in the United States to show how a system that appears unchangeable can be transformed while describing organizations movements and practices that are models of hope and a shift from the triangle of extinction to the “circle of creation. ” | Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It
