Zoopolis:Political Theory of Animal Rights ペーパーバック2013/7/18
Zoopolis offersnew agenda for the theory and practice of animal rights. Most animal rights theory focuses on the intrinsic capacities or interests of animals, and the moral status and moral rights that these intrinsic characteristics give rise to. Zoopolis shifts the debate from the realm of moral theory and applied ethics to the realm of political theory, focusing on the relational obligations that arise from the varied ways that animals relate to human societies and institutions. Building on recent developments in the political theory of group-differentiated citizenship, Zoopolis introduces us to the genuine "political animal". It argues that different types of animals stand in different relationships to human political communities. Domesticated animals should be seen as full members of human-animal mixed communities, participating in the cooperative project of shared citizenship. Wilderness animals, by contrast, form their own sovereign communities entitled to protection against colonization, invasion, domination and other threats to self-determination. "Liminal" animals who are wild but live in the midst of human settlement (such as crows or raccoons) should be seen as "denizens", resident of our societies, but not fully included in rights and responsibilities of citizenship. To all of these animals we owe respect for their basic inviolable rights. But we inevitably and appropriately have very different relations with them, with different types of obligations. Humans and animals are inextricably bound incomplex web of relationships, and Zoopolis offers an original and profoundly affirmative vision of how to ground this complex web of relations on principles of justice and compassion.
In this careful, thoughtful, and engaging work, Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka affirm and extend the attribution of rights to animals. ... The book is thoroughly researched and engageslot of literature about animals, both philosophical and sociologicalRuth Abbey, Philosophy in Review
it reinvigorated my view of animal rights and political theory, presentingcompelling, if pretty utopian, picture of just and egalitarian animal-human relations. More importantly, perhaps, it better illuminated my own understanding of my relationship with animals close to me, Mortimer (dog) and Tadpole (cat).Samuel Hawke, Social Justice First
This is the book that everyone in animal ethics ought to be talking about... extremely well written and carefully argued, and stuffed with fascinating observations about humans, animals and the relations between them... Dream novel: Margaret Atwood reads Zoopolis and createsfictional world like that.Jean Kazez, Philosophy blog
Zoopolis presentsmeticulously principled, thorough- and maybe, hopefully, even realistictheory, which in many ways improves upon preexisting theories of animal rights.Nina Varsava, Humanimalia Volume 4
Donaldson and Kymlicka's contribution builds upon attempts by others to extend justice to non-human animals in an original and compelling manner. They convincingly demonstrate that theories of animal rights lackingpolitical component are inadequate, and that traditional citizenship theory wrongly excludes many potential coauthors in the destiny of democratic communities.Steve Cooke, Global Policy
will take the debate about the limits of liberal citizenship into radical new areas.. Zoopolis breaks new ground by looking at animal rights fromgenuinely political perspective. It's deliciously contentious thesis will force liberal political theorists to look much harder at the boundaries of citizenship.Daniel Hutton Ferris, Politics inSpires.org
Zoopolis is an amazing book, which proposes to reframe the debate on our relationship with animals innew theoretical framework.Marta Tafalla, Dianoia, Volume LVII
a remarkable landmark in the animal rights debate. Like what Nozick said of RawlssTheory of Justice, it would seem that animal rights theorists must either work within the theory put forward by Zoopolis or explain why not.Tr istan Rogers, The Value Enquiry
fascinating and path-breaking. There ishuge amount to commend in this rich and novel theory... Zoopolis ismajor contribution to both animal ethics and political philosophy, and will provide much interesting debate.Alasdair Cochrane, The Philosophers Magazine
eloquent and extremely thought-provoking astonishingly free of sentimentality while still brimming with passion Books like thismeticulously thought-out, very attractively reasoned, with no hint of screeddo inestimable good in their incremental way, and Zoopolis is among the best Ive ever read, mainly because it avoids the pitfalls of extremism that would make it look untenable to the unconverted.Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Monthly
