Hunting – Philosophy for Everyone presents a collection of
readings from academics and non-academics alike that move beyond
the ethical justification of hunting to investigate less
traditional topics and offer fresh perspectives on why we hunt.
* The only recent book to explicitly examine the philosophical
issues surrounding hunting
* Shatters many of the stereotypes about hunting, forcing us to
rethink the topic
* Features contributions from a wide range of academic and
non-academic sources, including both hunters and non-hunters
