Description

This is the first edited collection devoted entirely to the question of the role of animals in the thought of Immanuel Kant.

Though the topic is not one treated systematically in his work, mentions of animals occur throughout his corpus in relation to many of his central concerns.

In this volume, a team of leading scholars address issues ranging over Kant's theoretical and practical philosophy, including questions regarding the possibility of objective representationand intentionality in animals, the role of animals in Kant's scientific picture of nature, the status of our moral responsibilities to animals' welfare, and more.

It also includes chapters concerning contemporary questions relating to animals and Kantian ethics and metaethics, making a use of Kant'sphilosophy to help contend with one of the most crucial ethics issues facing us today.
