In Fellow Creatures: Our Obligations to the Other Animals, renowned Harvard philosopher Christine M. Korsgaard presents a rigorous and deeply compelling philosophical argument that non-human animals are self-affirming beings whose lives matter to them — and that this fact alone generates profound and binding moral duties on our part. Drawing on Kantian ethics and her own theory of self-constitution, Korsgaard argues that the standard justifications for treating animals as mere resources or instruments are philosophically indefensible, dismantling centuries of anthropocentric moral philosophy with precise and formidable logic.\n\nKorsgaard's prose is lucid yet uncompromising, making complex ethical theory accessible without sacrificing intellectual depth. She chronicles the ways in which human societies have systematically excluded animals from moral consideration, then constructs a powerful counter-framework that places them firmly within our circle of moral concern. Fellow Creatures is not merely an academic treatise — it is a challenge to examine the very foundations of how we live, what we eat, and how we treat the other creatures who share our world. For anyone who has ever paused to consider the eyes of an animal and wondered what lies behind them, this book offers an answer that is both philosophically rigorous and morally urgent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336815616219,"sku":"2026200016299-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/87f88d66-1ee0-42d7-9253-66ee0e8ab647.png?v=1789958664","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016299-secondhand-fellow-creatures-our-obligations-to-the-other-animals","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
