The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. This series explores the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifically, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals; • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars, and • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance. Titles include: ANIMAL SUFFERING: PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE Elisa Aaltola ANIMALS AND PUBLIC HEALTH Why Treating Animals Better Is Critical to Human Welfare Aysha Akhtar AN INTRODUCTION TO ANIMALS AND POLITICAL THEORY Alasdair Cochrane ANIMAL CRUELTY, ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, AND HUMAN AGGRESSION More Than a Link Eleonora Gullone ANIMALS IN THE CLASSICAL WORLD Ethical Perspectives from Greek and Roman Texts Alastair Harden POWER, KNOWLEDGE, ANIMALS Lisa Johnson THE COSTS AND BENEFITS OF ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS Andrew Knight AN INTRODUCTION TO ANIMALS IN VISUAL CULTURE Randy Malamud CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY AND THE STATUS OF ANIMALS Ryan McLaughlin POPULAR MEDIA AND ANIMALS Claire Molloy
