An Ethical Analysis of the Core Principles of Animal Rights.

Author(s) Archana Tripura

Abstract The philosophical tradition concerning animals, humans, and rights often inherently excludes or limits the consideration of the animal kingdom, the concept of animality, and individual animals themselves. It's not surprising that the concept of animal rights was largely ignored for most of history. Before the seventeenth century, a well-defined doctrine of universal natural rights didn't even exist. However, the emergence of international theories led philosophers to develop ideas about international and natural rights. Ultimately, the most impactful writings on animals can be found in the works of philosophers from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, including Hugo Grotius, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, René Descartes, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant.
Keywords Animal Rights, Animal pain, Animals and morals, Jeremy Bentham, Immanuel Kant, Tom Regan, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism.
