Playing, killing, eating: on morality and animal rights

Abstract

Drawing from Haraway's question to Derrida about how the issue of the relationship with animals would change if its focus shifted from what they can not do (they can not not suffer) to what they can do (play or work), the article discusses the link between play and justice in Bekoff's ethological work, which has its limit on the problem of eating, and then confronts this point with some discourses on morality and universal animal rights.

Keywords:
