Justice For Animals by Martha C. Nussbaum
Our Collective Responsibility
A philosophical and practical call to treat nonhuman animals as rightful subjects of justice, it advances a capabilities approach that secures each creature’s opportunities to live, move, socialize, play, and flourish according to its form of life. It critiques utilitarian and contractarian views and proposes concrete reforms—ending factory farming and exploitative research, protecting habitats, granting legal standing through guardians, and coordinating global action on climate change and wildlife trade. Drawing on cases from elephants to fishes, it highlights animal agency and emotion and urges democracies to reimagine law and policy so that individuals across species are included within the circle of political concern.
