New Book: 'Speciesism: Why It Is Wrong and the Implications of Rejecting It'





Why is speciesism wrong, and what are the implications of rejecting it? These are the questions I try to answer in my latest book: Speciesism: Why It Is Wrong and the Implications of Rejecting It.

A short description:

What can justify discrimination against other sentient beings? In this book, Magnus Vinding explores the issue of species discrimination. He argues that speciesism — discrimination based on species membership — is unjustifiable, and proceeds to examine the practical implications of this conclusion. This examination reveals more than a few ways in which our behavior and attitudes need to change profoundly.
