PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Melanie Challenger is a writer, researcher and broadcaster on environmental history and philosophy of science, Deputy Co-Chair of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, and a Vice President of the RSPCA, UK. Her books include How to Be Animal: What it Means to Be Human (2021).
How best to think about and do justice to the dignity of animals? As Challenger’s superb collection demonstrates, this task involves not simply extending traditional notions of dignity to animals but also considering how the lives and deaths of animals themselves might challenge us to conceive of dignity in new and unanticipated ways. * Matthew Calarco, Professor of Philosophy, California State University, USA * Melanie Challenger has earned a place as an essential, foundational thinker on topics of animal capacity for experiencing life and the world, and in calling us to consider our appropriate response to the beings cohabiting this planet. In this consideration of dignity and its ramifications and imperatives, Challenger has gathered the best, brightest, highest, and deepest other thinkers and convened them for us between the covers of this daring and pathfinding book. * Carl Safina, Ecologist and Author of books including Alfie and Me (2023), USA * Animal Dignity is a bold, modern effort to ascribe to non-human beings a concept that heretofore has eluded them. These forceful essays also awakened me to the idea when we deny other animals their dignity, we corrupt our own. * Jonathan Balcombe, Ethologist and Author of What a Fish Knows (2016) and Super Fly (2020), Canada *
