In Beyond Animal Rights, Josephine Donovan and Carol J. Adams
introduced feminist "ethic of care" theory into philosophical
discussions of the treatment of animals. In this new volume, seven
essays from Beyond Animal Rights are joined by nine new
articles-most of which were written in response to that book-and a new
introduction that situates feminist animal care theory within feminist
theory and the larger debate over animal rights. Contributors critique
theorists' reliance on natural rights doctrine and utilitarianism,
which, they suggest, have a masculine bias. They argue for ethical
attentiveness and sympathy in our relationships with animals and propose
a link between the continuing subjugation of women and the human
domination of nature. Beginning with the earliest articulation of the
idea in the mid-1980s and continuing to the theory's most recent
revisions, this volume presents the most complete portrait of the
evolution of the feminist-care tradition.
