The Affective Turn in Animal Ethics

Aaltola’s criticisms of Acampora are reviewe…

It first examines the historical and contemporary intellectual resources available for developing this kind of ethic, then surveys the range of possible relationships between humans and other animals, and finally investigates the morality of mul…
