  1. What is an Animal? A Philosophical Reflection on the Possibility of a Moral Relationship with Animals.Hub Zwart - 1997 - Environmental Values 6 (4):377-392.
    Contemporary ethical discourse on animals is influenced partly by a scientific and partly by an anthropomorphic understanding of them. Apparently, we have deprived ourselves of the possibility of a more profound acquaintance with them. In this contribution it is claimed that all ethical theories or statements regarding the moral significance of animals are grounded in an ontological assessment of the animal's way of being. In the course of history, several answers have been put forward to the question of what animals (...)

  • Dying in dignity.Marcus Knaup - 2020 - Ethics and Bioethics (in Central Europe) 10 (1-2):10-19.
    The question of what might constitute “good dying” is a sensitive subject that is being discussed and is socially and politically controversial. My contribution discusses whether a reference to concepts such as autonomy and dignity in the debate over suicide and euthanasia is in fact convincing. Important impulses for the train of thought stem from Kantian philosophy.

  • Animal suffering as a challenge to theistic theodicy.Andrea Aguti - 2017 - International Journal of Philosophy and Theology 78 (4-5):498-510.
    In the current debate on theodicy, the problem of animal suffering is becoming increasingly relevant, as demonstrated by some recent books devoted to this topic. Such a problem is particularly challenging for a theistic theodicy, as its traditional arguments do not seem able to deal with it. In the first instance, the article aims to provide a brief overview of the main arguments sustained by theists regarding animal suffering, and secondly to provide an evaluation of such arguments which might be (...)

  • (2 other versions)Da experiência estético-teleológica da natureza à consciência ecológica: uma leitura da Crítica do Juízo de Kant.Leonel Ribeiro dos Santos - 2006 - Trans/Form/Ação 29 (1):7-29.
    O objetivo deste ensaio é propor uma interpretação daquilo que para muitos intérpretes constitui o enigma e a dificuldade maior da terceira Crítica de Kant: o fato de o filósofo remeter para a mesma faculdade do espírito (a faculdade de julgar – Urteilskraft) e para o mesmo princípio transcendental de apreciação (a teleoformidade ou conformidade a fins – Zweckmässigkeit) o fenômeno da arte humana e os fenômenos da natureza organizada – a estética e a teleologia. Na leitura que propomos, tentamos (...)
