PHL 228 - Philosophy and the Animal (3 Cr.)


Are humans animals? Are animals persons? This class goes beyond animal ethics to consider the ontological and epistemological assumptions underlying the ethical debates. How is “the animal” constructed in science, philosophy and culture? How should animal being be imagined in order to contribute to a more just and sustainable vision of society? Prerequisite: Either sophomore standing, one course in philosophy, or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Offered Spring 2012. Grebowicz.
