- Intelligent and succinct
This is a delightful little book, which covers a great deal of ground in a small space and with utmost clarity and simplicity of style. I should at once qualify that last phrase as meaning that the book would be simple and clear to someone who is at ease reading analytic philosophy. The book's methodology is another attractive feature for its relative novelty, for the author minimizes the importance of defending some supreme principle of morality in favor of arguing on the basis of widely shared assumptions about right and wrong. This is definitely a selling point for a work than deals with a topic of urgent practical importance, like this one on the human treatment of other animals, since there isn't going to be any agreement about the supreme principle of morality any time soon. Despite the pragmatic bent, however, this book is jam-packed with subtle theoretical insights. It's really a wonderful book. and to invert a Groucho Marx (via Woody Allen) joke: I recommend this book because it is very satisfying to read and it's so short!
