Reviews

'Well worth the read ... a fine piece of philosophical work.' - Metascience

'[Clark's] ability to bring together contemporary sociobiology, ancient and modern philosophical perspectives and theological perspectives is quite remarkable. The result is a collection of essays that will be of interest to the veteran as well as the newcomer to the animal welfare debate. Anyone who questions the contribution of traditional philosophy to modern ethics or current science would do well to spend time with this book.' - Reason Papers
