Tierethik
Description
This textbook provides an overview of important approaches to animal ethics in the past and present. Its guiding questions are how Western anthropocentrism can be overcome and how animals can be granted moral status. Following an understandable and clearly structured presentation of several ethical approaches, each of the eight chapters offers one or more source texts with questions as well as a practical case study for discussion among students, and also aiding them in their studies with an extensive bibliography and a glossary containing all relevant technical terms. The book is aimed at students of all disciplines, from veterinary medicine to philosophy and from biology to theology.

Reviews
»As a teaching tool, the concluding glossary, bibliography, and tables significantl enhance the book’s usability. Key terms are clearly explained and cross-referenced, reinforcing the book’s pedagogical coherence. Once again, the didactic and pedagogic efficacy of Tierethik becomes apparent: it is designed not just to be read, but to be studied, taught, and discussed. Tierethik is an exemplary textbook that succeeds on multiple levels: philosophically, it offers a clear diagnosis of anthropocentrism and a nuanced map of attempts to overcome it; empirically, it grounds ethical reflection in the realities of contemporary animal exploitation and ecological crisis; didactically, it sets a high standard through its transparent structure, carefully chosen texts, and discussion-oriented case studies. For students, educators, and anyone seeking a rigorous yet accessible entry into animal ethics, this book is not only informative but genuinely formative. In an age defined by moral contradictions and planetary limits, its pedagogic efficacy is itself an ethical achievement.«
