Introduction
The term animal rights is ordinarily used to convey the idea that non-human animals are worthy of a high degree of moral consideration. It can also be used more specifically to refer to a rights-based philosophical approach to animal ethics as opposed to other philosophical frameworks. Additionally, animal rights can refer to a legal concept, but that is outside the scope of this article.
In this article, we use the term in the general sense but in a philosophical context, covering:
- How animal rights philosophy contextually fits into the overall areas of philosophy
- The philosophical approaches to animal ethics
- The major philosophers who shaped the landscape
- Objections to animal rights philosophy
- The usefulness of animal rights philosophy in advocacy and outreach
