The relationship between humans and animals is rich and complex. For the past several decades, philosophers have been exploring the ethical dimensions to this relationship. What moral duties do we have to nonhuman animals? Do animals possess "rights"? Are the various ways in which animals are exploited morally defensible, or do our attitudes towards animals reveal inconsistencies in our moral framework? This class will survey the philosophical arguements that have been offered in the debate surrounding these questions, and encourage the students to participate in the debate by forming and defending their own positions.
