All Animals are Equal / Alle Tiere sind gleich

With some justification, Peter Singer can be described as one of the most controversial philosophers of our time – but equally justifiably as one of the most influential and original thinkers. His early essay from 1974 poses uncomfortable questions: On what grounds do we presume to understand animals as fundamentally inferior to us and treat them as mere resources? Our prejudice that the human species is always to be preferred stands on shaky ground. This volume offers a new translation of the influential text, reconstructs the line of argumentation, and traces its historical impact.
