Should Animals Be Our Equals
Religion as Liberal Politics

Some scholars trace it to the advent of the Protestant Reformation when religion became a matter of competing theological propositions. My analysis of both John Calvin and Roger Williams shows that those Protestant thinkers emphasized the view that religio…
The Rule of Law for All Sentient Animals
This paper argues for a theory of the rule of law that is inclusive of sentient non-human animals.

Kai Moller, The Global Model of Constitutional Rights
In his ambitious and deeply engaging new book, Kai Möller makes his case for a particular understanding of constitutional rights which he calls the global model of constitutional rights. The global model is posed by Möller in opposition to the ‘dominant narrative of the philosophy of fundamental rights’ (p. 2). The dominant narrative recognises that (1) rights protect only especially important interests of individuals; (2) rights impose primarily…
