Why It's So Hard to Think Straight About Animals

Average rating3.5
Interesting discussion of philosophies of ethics regarding the relationship humans have with animals. The author's style is accessible. He remains neutral when his focus is on anglophone cultures, which is most of the text.
Brilliant. Morality, ambiguity, hypocrisy, cognitive biases – all my favorite stuff. Herzog presents wonderful, insightful, often disturbing questions about our relationships with nonhuman animals. He does so with a kind and gentle voice filled with compassion and humor. This is a book to savor, to ponder, to discuss.
Thumbs down to Harper Collins for the abysmal printing job, though. May be there prufreeder waz on vakashun?
