Abstract
Down through the past decade and more, no philosophical writer has taken a greater interest in the issues of how we ought to act in relation to animals, nor pressed more strongly the case for according them rights, than has Tom Regan, in many articles, reviews, and exchanges at scholarly conferences and in print. It is a pleasure to join him on this symposium, to explore this interesting and important set of issues.
Paper presented at the national conference, “Animals and Humans: Ethical Perspectives,” Moorhead State University, Moorhead, MN, April 21–23, 1986.
