Integrating Ethical Frameworks for Animals, Humans, and Nature: A Critical Feminist Eco-Socialist Analysis
Author(s)
Plumwood, Val
Abstract
Plumwood discusses ways a critical feminist-socialist ecology envisages the projects of animal ethics and defense. Mainstream animal ethics theory has many substantial achievements by contesting the dominant human-centered assumption that ethics, mind, and communicative capacity are confined to the human sphere. Some ecofeminist and eco-socialist theorists especially have developed a powerful critique of human/animal dualisms and their role in rendering food practices as well as science practices sites for both human and gender domination.
