Animal ethics: The double dissociation - 2020.


17

The constitution of animal ethics since the 19th century is marked by a double dissociation: first, between militancy against animal suffering and the protection of the wilderness; second, between various academic animal ethics and environmental ethics. This study will show how this dissociation was historically constituted, what the consequences are and how it can be overcome. Only by overcoming the radical break between the wild and the domesticated can an animal and environmental ethic be founded.
