Description
Summary:[...]these essays implicitly suggest that animal philosophy cannot develop in isolation from other areas of philosophy. [...]people without pets are socially connected to people who provide care to animals. [...]the moral-political community, including people without pets, has obligations to support people and institutions that provide care to animals. [...]Pets and People offers an implicit argument that animal ethics should not be siloed from other areas of philosophical inquiry.
