Do animals have rights? To what extent do animals participate in the human moral community? How should humankind view its ethical relationship to animals? Those questions are central to Tom Regan‘s book, The Case for Animal Rights, published in 1983 by the University of California Press and nominated that year for a Pulitzer Prize.
At the time of this discussion, Regan, a Fellow at the National Humanities Center (1984-85), was professor of philosophy at North Carolina State University.
