Kai Horsthemke 
Animals and African Ethics [PDF ebook] 

Wsparcie

The claim is frequently made on behalf of African moral beliefs and practices that they do not objectify and exploit nature and natural existents like Western ethics does. This book investigates whether this is correct and what kind of status is reserved for other-than-human animals in African ethics.
