Description

           Both its defenders and detractors         have described the argument from marginal cases as the most important         to date in defense of animal rights.

Hotly debated among philosophers         for some twenty years, the argument concludes that no morally relevant         characteristic distinguishes human beings–including infants, the         severely retarded, the comatose, and other "marginal cases"--from         any other animals.       Babies and Beasts presents         the first book-length exploration of the broad range of views relating         to the argument from marginal cases and sorts out and evaluates its various         uses and abuses.       Daniel Dombrowski analyzes         the views of many who are prominent in the debate--         Peter Singer, Thomas Regan, H.

J. McCloskey, Jan Narveson, John Rawls,         R.

G. Frey, Peter Carruthers, Michael Leahy, Robert Nozick, and James         Rachels are included--in a volume that will be essential to philosophers,         animal rights activists, those who work in clinical settings, and others         who must sometimes deal with "marginal cases."
