In this episode of the Transforming Society podcast, Steve Cooke, author of What Are Animal Rights For?, talks with George Miller about how the field of animal rights evolved – and continues to evolve as advances in the scientific understanding of animals’ lives expand the rights claims made on their behalf.
Philosophy, Steve suggests, has a critical role to play in proposing what a good future for animals might look like, equipping us with the conceptual tools to imagine a world in which animals have many more rights than they do today.
