And nonhuman&lt;br&gt;animals have long been a source of wonder to humans,&lt;br&gt;especially in regard to the treatment they deserve. The upshot is&lt;br&gt;that Western philosophy has been concerned with the way in&lt;br&gt;which we ought to treat nonhuman animals since its origins with&lt;br&gt;the pre-Socratic philosophers.&lt;br&gt;Animal ethics is a highly challenging field, as well as one of the&lt;br&gt;liveliest areas of debate in ethics in recent years. Not only has this&lt;br&gt;area issued in a range of attention-grabbing controversies, but it&lt;br&gt;has also led to the exploration o f novel and imaginative&lt;br&gt;approaches to worn-out issues.&lt;br&gt;This book is roughly evenly divided between the presentation&lt;br&gt;and discussion of a range of influential past approaches to&lt;br&gt;animal ethics, and an equally significant range of contemporary&lt;br&gt;approaches. We need to understand the legacy of the past and&lt;br&gt;the resources that it offers us while also forging new views that&lt;br&gt;are appropriate to our increasingly developed understanding of&lt;br&gt;the nature of nonhuman animals.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
