Utilitarianism

Suggested pairing: Peter Singer's "All Animals are Equal" (excerpted from Animal Liberation) and Nick Zangwill's "Why you Should Eat Meat"

Note: I only require students to read up until page 11 of "All Animals are Equal."

Kantianism

Suggested pairing: Tom Regan's "The Case for Animal Rights" and Carl Cohen's "The Case for the Use of Animals in Biomedical Research"

Virtue Ethics

Suggested pairing: Carlo Alvaro's “Ethical Veganism, Virtue, and Greatness of the Soul” and Christopher Bobier's “What Would the Virtuous Person Eat? The Case for Virtuous Omnivorism”

Note: I use an excerpted version of both, which you can find here.

Feminist Ethics

Josephine Donovan's “Caring to Dialogue” and Jocelyne Porcher's "Domestication and Husbandry"
