Natural Relations keyword-culture-wars Over the last quarter-centuryIn this challenging book, Ted Benton takes recent debates about the moral status of animals as a basis for reviewing the discourse of human rights. Liberal individualist views of human rights and advocates of animal rights tend to think of individuals, whether human or animals, in isolation from their social position. This makes them vulnerable to criticisms from the left which emphasize the importance of social relationships to individual well being.
