#2 Animal Rights, Speciesism, and Personhood | Lizzie Bestow

In this episode, I host Lizzie Bestow, a Philosophy postgraduate student at the University of Durham, in the UK. We define what speciesism is, expanding on the work of Michael Tye, Peter Singer, Iris Murdoch, and others, and examine whether non-human animals can be granted personhood and, if yes, on what grounds. We assess the importance of pain and suffering in animals and comment on the importance of the viewpoint theory in animal ethics.
