Animal Law and Welfare Philosophical Ethics and Theory Environmental Philosophy and Ethics

Abstract

Drawing heavily on recent empirical research to update R.M. Hare's two-level utilitarianism and expand Hare's treatment of 'intuitive level rules,' Gary Varner considers in detail the theory's application to animals while arguing that Hare should have recognized a hierarchy of persons, near-persons, and the merely sentient.
