13Animal Rights (edited book)Ashgate. 2008.Do animals have moral rights? If so, which ones? How does this affect our thinking about agriculture and experimentation?

13Hybrid theories, psychological plausibility, and the human/animal dividePhilosophical Studies 180 (4): 1105-1123. 2021.A hybrid theory is any moral theory according to which different classes of individuals ought to be treated according to different principles. We argue that some hybrid theories are able to meet standards of psychological plausibility, by which we mean that it’s feasible for ordinary human beings to understand and act in accord with them. Insofar as psychological plausibility is a theoretical virtue, then, such hybrid theories deserve more serious consideration. To make the case for this view, w…Read more

11Linking Ecology and Ethics for a Changing World: Values, Philosophy, and Action (edited book)Imprint: Springer. 2013.Ecological sciences have informed environmental ethics from its inception as a scholarly pursuit in the 1970s-so much so that we now have ecological ethics, Deep Ecology, and ecofeminism. Throughout the 20th century, however, most ecologists remained enthralled by the myth that science is value-free. Closer study of science by philosophers reveals that metaphors are inescapable and cognitively indispensable to science, but that metaphors are value-laden. As we confront the enormous challenges of…Read more

9Just Policy Paralysis?Animal Sentience 3 (27). 2019.Treves et al. (2019) argue that policy making should include the interests and well-being of present and future generations of humans and nonhumans. There are deep and abiding conflicts of interest both between and within these groups. Trying to factor in so many considerations is likely to generate political gridlock. The authors need to explain how to avoid this.

9Attfield and Animals: Capacities and Relations in Attfield's Environmental EthicsIn Rebekah Humphries & Sophie Vlacos (eds.), Creation, Environment and Ethics, Cambridge Scholars Press. pp. 105-120. 2011.Robin Attfield's work has been central to the development of environmental philosophy in a number of key areas, including stewardship, population, human development and the moral standing of living organisms. In this paper, I'll focus primarily on just one aspect of Attfield's work: human moral obligations to sentient animals. I'll first outline how, and in what ways, Attfield has argued that such animals are morally important. I'll then suggest that while providing a good grounding for some ce…Read more
