Pressestimmen

“In this well-researched examination of animal selfhood, Thomas … explores the designation of ‘self’ as reserved for humans only. She identifies agency, self-awareness, and autonomy as the grounds for ownership of direct moral obligation, and she points out that some animals possess some of these characteristics. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.” (M. A. Betz, Choice, Vol. 54 (10), June, 2017)
