Beschrijving

Bol This thesis centres on the question of the moral status of animals, an examination of contractualist attempts to justify this status, and the presentation of a new form of contractualism on the basis of which animals can be accorded moral standing. An attempt is made to develop a form of contractualism based on human capacity for empathy. Empathy is considered from the perspective of evolutionary theory and examined in relation to morality. This is followed by a description of how the rational agents in the original state might be conceived within such a contractualist framework, and how they might arrive at their moral judgements.
