Philosophy, Animality and the Life Sciences

Explore the profound intersection of philosophy and the life sciences in "Philosophy, Animality and the Life Sciences" by Wahida Khandker. Published by Edinburgh University Press in 2014, this hardback edition spans 168 pages and delves into the contentious issue of using animals for scientific research. Khandker challenges the Continental philosophical tradition, which has often been criticized for avoiding the complexities of 'the animal question.' This thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider how we perceive and treat non-human animals, urging a reevaluation of ethical considerations in scientific practices. Perfect for students and enthusiasts of philosophy and ethics, this book is a vital resource for anyone interested in the moral implications of our interactions with the animal kingdom.
