This polemic is an attack on humanism. Is it just another deluded philosophy? Nothing more than the various religions it tries so hard to differentiate itself from?
If you are going to constructively criticise something, you need to be sure you understand what it is you are criticising. Does Gray? Most religions use scripture as some sort of starting point to define their belief system. Christianity has the Bible, Islam the Koran, Hindu has - amongst others - the Upanishads. Each religion then tries to interpret their respective scripture. They may disagree on the details but the basis of the belief system is defined. Humanism, has no scripture. So is it just a subjective philosophy? The closest we have to an objective ... Read More: >>More Details |

Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan Worldby: Bob Torres, Jenna Torres July 15, 2005 Best Selling > Books > Animal Rights |

Have to be honest, it's rare I'll even bother to write a book review but feel compelled to here. After being a veggie for 20 years, I'm toying with the idea of becoming a vegan. I'm not one for being preached at and most 'activists' irritate me beyond description. Also, I'm not one for overblown American in your face type writing, so I was a little apprehensive about buying this. I needn't have been. It's superb. Honest, humorous, non preachy and debunks many myths including several perpetuated by vegans themselves. The authors include links for further info and resources which adds to the value too. If you're considering becoming a vegan or even just flirting with the idea, buy this book.

A really clear political exposition, which helps provide solid philosophical underpinnings to veganism and a way forward for animal rights' thinking which does not include a lot of "they're-just-like-us-no-they're-not" irrelevancies. Very readable, too! Highly recommended.

I'd lend my copy this book to anyone even vaguely interested in the subject. I can't really assess how sound the philosophy behind the ideas in this book is, because i don't really know it, but as an outline of the main animal rights theories, its impeccable. DeGrazia has written more academic works, but this is very straightforward and accessible, it certainly made me think about animals in a different way. Criticism - its not impartial. The author quickly states his own perspective and views, and these always seem to get the most covereage. He appears to sometimes dismiss criticism of animal rights a bit too flippantly. But overall, this is a very readable and interesting book. >>More Details |
