ON Tom Regan’s Defence of Animal Rights
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 12
Abstract
There is no doubt that Tom Regan is the leading protagonist of the Animal Rights abolitionist project in philosophy. The abolitionist decry the use and exploitation of non human animals. This paper examines Regan‘s arguments in defence of non human animal rights and the abolitionist project. Using the philosophical method of critical analysis and argumentation, the paper examines Regan‘s thesis that non human animals are bearers of rights and revealed that there are some seeming inconsistencies in Regan‘s thesis.
