This article explores the role of human-animal relations in the emergence of amour-propre , as presented in Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin and Foundation of Inequality Among Men (also known as the Second Discourse ). Rousseau’s natural vegetarianism thesis is used to elucidate and interrogate fundamental pivots in his conjectural history of human development. The implications of the connection between amour-propre and human-animal relations are explored in relation to anthropocentrism, human exceptionalism, and the disavowal of nonhuman suffering in Western culture
