La consideración moral de los animales no humanos en los últimos cuarenta años: una bibliografía anotada

Abstract

Over the last forty years, numerous authors have started to take account of the issueof moral consideration of non-human animals in a wide array of ethical theory.This article looks at the issue through an annotated bibliography which covers themajor works dedicated to the subject during the last three decades. We see thatthese works fall under three distinct categories, based on whether their objectiveis to question positions which have been determined speciesist, to oppose thisquestioning of these positions for purely anthropocentric motives, or to reject thequestion for ecological reasons.
