Description

Explore the connection between ancient thought and modern morality with this groundbreaking volume from Routledge. This book examines Plutarch's unique arguments regarding animal sentience and rationality, suggesting that humans must recognize and respect animal interests. Author Stephen Newmyer analyzes Plutarch's three specific animal-related treatises alongside key passages from his ethical works. The research reveals how these ancient perspectives strikingly foreshadow the arguments made by modern animal rights philosophers like Peter Singer and Tom Regan. This work is unique because it places Plutarch's opinions within the context of ancient philosophical and ethical thought while also situating them in the broader history of animal rights. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in ancient history, Greek civilization, and the evolution of ethical reasoning.
