Dear allPlease see below for information about a new talk series on the legal and political status of nonhuman animals. It will be of interest at least to political and moral philosophers. The first event will take place next week on Friday, Nov 27, at 3:15pm in the Law Faculty.
Best wishes, Visa Kurki TALKING ANIMALS, LAW AND PHILOSOPHY EVERYBODY IS WARMLY INVITED TO JOIN US FOR THIS NEW AND EXCITING TALK SERIES! A veritable animal turn has occurred in many fields of thinking, sweeping away outdated philosophical and scientific beliefs, and making room for more thoughtful, sensible study of the relation between humans and other animals. Law and legal science, however, have remained relatively untouched by this revolution. The talk series "Talking Animals, Law and Philosophy" wants to remedy this situation by providing a welcoming, engaging and rigorous forum for debate and ideas about the relations between animals, law and philosophy.
