Paper abstract bibtex

This paper defends the thesis that contractualism, properly understood, provides a plausible theoretical basis for the attribution of direct moral status to animals. The first part explains how John Rawls’s contractualism can be aplied – through his own arguments – to defend direct moral duties to animals. The second part focuses on solving practical moral questions using the contract theory. It deals with the issue of intensive farming and animal experimentation. © 2023, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of State and Law. All rights reserved.
