8Libertarianism: For and AgainstRowman & Littlefield Publishers. 2005.Libertarianism: For and Against offers dueling perspectives on the scope of legitimate government. Tibor R.

26Beyond 'compassion and humanity': Justice for nonhuman animalsIn Cass R. Sunstein & Martha Craven Nussbaum (eds.), Animal rights: current debates and new directions, Oxford University Press. pp. 299--320. 2004.This chapter discusses the application of the capabilities approach to the question of animal rights.
