Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Praktische (Ethik, Ästhetik, Kultur, Natur, Recht, ...), Note: 1,7, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Folgenden werde ich auf die Geschichte des Vegetarismus von der griechischen Antike bis heute eingehen und anschließend die verschiedenen Aspekte beleuchten, die Einfluss auf die Hinwendung zum Vegetarismus nehmen. "Nichts wird die Gesundheit der Menschen und die Chancen auf ein Überleben auf der Erde so steigern wie der Schritt zur vegetarischen Ernährung." Dies sagte bereits vor Jahrzehnten Albert Einstein. Ein erstaunlicher Ausspruch, wenn man bedenkt, dass man zu dieser Zeit noch über wenig wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse über die Zusammenhänge und Auswirkungen von Ernährung auf Umwelt, Klima, Gesundheit und Tierrechte verfügte. Der Vegetarismus ist nicht nur eine fleisch- und fischlose Ernährungsweise, sondern kann als kompletter Lebensstil beziehungsweise als Weltanschauung gesehen werden, die sich in der heutigen Gesellschaft etabliert hat und die mehr und mehr akzeptiert wird. Das zunehmende Umdenken in der Bevölkerung in Bezug auf den Fleischkonsum ist zum einen eine Reaktion auf die BSE- Krise, die Vogelgrippe oder die zahlreichen Gammelfleischskandale der vergangenen Jahre. Aber auch Gesundheitsaspekte und wachsende Kritik an unserem Umgang mit Tieren vor allem in der Massentierhaltung sowie die massiven umweltschädlichen Folgen, die ein hoher Fleischkonsum verursacht, spielen eine wichtige Rolle für das veränderte Bewusstsein. Die Zahl der weltweiten Vegetarier wird auf circa 20 Prozent geschätzt, wobei zu berücksichtigen ist, dass der überwiegende Teil, nämlich 95 Prozent davon "Not-Vegetarier" aus Entwicklungsländern sind, die sich schlicht kein Fleisch leisten können. Demgegenüber stehen 5 Prozent "Wahl-Vegetarierer," Menschen in Industrieländern also, die freiwillig meist aus ethisch-moralischen, gesundheitlichen oder ökologischen Gründen auf Fleisch ve
Download or read book Der Vegetarismus in der Antike im Streitgespr ch written by Pedro Martins and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Untersuchung liegt auf der Bewertung zweier Diskussionen in Bezug auf den vegetarischen Diskurs in der Antike. Als Hauptquelle steht Porphyrios’ De Abstinentia im Vordergrund. Diese Schrift enthält nicht nur ein Plädoyer für die vegetarische Lebensweise, sondern auch eine wertvolle Sammlung von Meinungen verschiedener Philosophen, die sich gegen oder für den Vegetarismus geäußert haben. Zuerst wird das Fragment Gegen die Vegetarier des Klodios aus Neapel bzw. Herakleides Pontikos mit einer textkritischen Edition und Übersetzung präsentiert und diskutiert. Dann werden die intertextuellen Bezüge zwischen diesem und dem Fragment des Theophrast Über die Frömmigkeit analysiert. Zuletzt wird gezeigt, wie Porphyrios die Begriffe Oikeiosis und Philanthropia kritisch rezipiert, und darauf aufbauend eine räumliche Terminologie für seine eigene Ethik entwickelt hat. Anhand der Analyse dieser beiden Diskussionen will dieses Buch zeigen, dass die Diskussion um den Vegetarismus in der Antike vielfältiger und dynamischer war, als bis jetzt angenommen wurde. Interessierte an Tierethik und Menschen-Tier-Verhältnissen, aber auch an neuplatonischer und stoischer Philosophie werden in diesem Buch anregende Anhaltspunkte finden.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Vegan Studies written by Laura Wright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging volume explores the tension between the dietary practice of veganism and the manifestation, construction, and representation of a vegan identity in today’s society. Emerging in the early 21st century, vegan studies is distinct from more familiar conceptions of "animal studies," an umbrella term for a three-pronged field that gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, consisting of critical animal studies, human animal studies, and posthumanism. While veganism is a consideration of these modes of inquiry, it is a decidedly different entity, an ethical delineator that for many scholars marks a complicated boundary between theoretical pursuit and lived experience. The Routledge Handbook of Vegan Studies is the must-have reference for the important topics, problems, and key debates in the subject area and is the first of its kind. Comprising over 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, this handbook is divided into five parts: History of vegan studies Vegan studies in the disciplines Theoretical intersections Contemporary media entanglements Veganism around the world These sections contextualize veganism beyond its status as a dietary choice, situating veganism within broader social, ethical, legal, theoretical, and artistic discourses. This book will be essential reading for students and researchers of vegan studies, animal studies, and environmental ethics.
Download or read book Interactions between Animals and Humans in Graeco Roman Antiquity written by Thorsten Fögen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeen contributions to this volume, written by leading experts, show that animals and humans in Graeco-Roman antiquity are interconnected on a variety of different levels and that their encounters and interactions often result from their belonging to the same structures, ‘networks’ and communities or at least from finding themselves together in a certain setting, context or environment – wittingly or unwittingly. Papers explore the concrete categories of interaction between animals and humans that can be identified, in what contexts they occur, and what types of evidence can be productively used to examine the concept of interactions. Articles in this volume take into account literary, visual, and other types of evidence. A comprehensive research bibliography is also provided.
Download or read book Plutarch s Three Treatises on Animals written by Stephen T. Newmyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new translation of Plutarch’s three treatises on animals—On the Cleverness of Animals, Whether Beasts Are Rational, and On Eating Meat—accompanied by introductions and explanatory commentaries. The accompanying commentaries are designed not only to elucidate the meaning of the Greek text, but to call attention to Plutarch’s striking anticipations of arguments central to current philosophical and ethological discourse in defense of the position that non-human animals have intellectual and emotional dimensions that make them worthy of inclusion in the moral universe of human beings. Plutarch’s Three Treatises on Animals will be of interest to students of ancient philosophy and natural science, and to all readers who wish to explore the history of thought on human–non-human animal relations, in which the animal treatises of Plutarch hold a pivotal position.
Download or read book Ascetic Eucharists written by Andrew McGowan and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999-05-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Eucharist has usually been seen as sacramental eating of token bread and wine in careful or even slavish imitation of Jesus and his earliest disciples. In fact the evidence suggests great diversity in its conduct, including the use of foods, in the first few hundred years. Eucharistic meals involving cheese, milk, salt, oil, and vegetables are attested, and some have argued that even fish was used. The most significant exception to using bread and wine, however, was a `bread-and-water' Christian meal, an ancient ascetic form of the Eucharist. This tradition also involved rejection of meat from general diet, and reflected the concern of dissident communities to avoid the cuisine - meat and wine - characteristic of pagan sacrifice. This study describes and discusses these practices fully for the first time, and provides important new insights into the liturgical and social history of early Christianity.
Download or read book Beliefs that Bias Food Agriculture written by Lindsay Falvey and published by Institute for International Development. This book was released on 2013-12-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book answers 10 questions addressed to the author in various forms. Some are personal, while others relate to global issues. All are answered with candor and detailed explanation. The answers will not suit those who seek confirmation of popular viewpoints, nor will they suit those who insist they are doing good without having knowledge of what they are really doing. But they will admirably suit those extremely important persons from all walks of life who are open to new knowledge, who can accept challenges to their beliefs and received knowledge. The answers cover such topics as: - why livestock are critical to food security - why free trade and markets can't solve food shortages - why aid shouldn't insist poor countries follow our model - how to reconcile science and commerce with popular ideals - how gross domestic happiness can be a serious topic - how more food can be produced with less land and fertilizer - why labels like Buddhist and vegetarian confuse life - what traditional wisdom is critical to development - how misrepresentation fuels fears about climate change - why small farmers and foreign agribusiness must coexist

Download or read book Human and Animal in Ancient Greece written by Tua Korhonen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animals were omnipresent in the everyday life and the visual arts of classical Greece. In literature, too, they had significant functions.This book discusses the role of animals - both domestic and wild - and mythological hybrid creatures in ancient Greek literature. Challenging the traditional view of the Greek anthropocentrism, the authors provide a nuanced interpretation of the classical relationship to animals. Through a close textual analysis, they highlight the emergence of the perspective of animals in Greek literature. Central to the book's enquiry is the question of empathy: investigating the ways in which ancient Greek authors invited their readers to empathise with non-human counterparts. The book presents case studies on the animal similes in the Iliad, the addresses to animals and nature in Sophocles' Philoctetes, the human-bird hybrids in The Birds by Aristophanes and the animal protagonists of Anyte's epigrams. Throughout, the authors develop an innovative methodology that combines philological and historical analysis with a philosophy of embodiment, or phenomenology of the body. Shedding new light on how animals were regarded in ancient Greek society, the book will be of interest to classicists, historians, philosophers, literary scholars and all those studying empathy and the human-animal relationship.
Download or read book The Animal and the Human in Ancient and Modern Thought written by Stephen T. Newmyer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Greeks endeavored to define the human being vis-à-vis other animal species by isolating capacities and endowments which they considered to be unique to humans. This approach toward defining the human being still appears with surprising frequency, in modern philosophical treatises, in modern animal behavioral studies, and in animal rights literature, to argue both for and against the position that human beings are special and unique because of one or another attribute or skill that they are believed to possess. Some of the claims of man’s unique endowments have in recent years become the subject of intensive investigation by cognitive ethologists carried out in non-laboratory contexts. The debate is as lively now as in classical times, and, what is of particular note, the examples and methods of argumentation used to prove one or another position on any issue relating to the unique status of human beings that one encounters in contemporary philosophical or ethological literature frequently recall ancient precedents. This is the first book-length study of the ‘man alone of animals’ topos in classical literature, not restricting its analysis to Greco-Roman claims of man’s intellectual uniqueness, but including classical assertions of man’s physiological and emotional uniqueness. It supplements this analysis of ancient manifestations with an examination of how the commonplace survives and has been restated, transformed, and extended in contemporary ethological literature and in the literature of the animal rights and animal welfare movements. Author Stephen T. Newmyer demonstrates that the anthropocentrism detected in Greek applications of the ‘man alone of animals’ topos is not only alive and well in many facets of the current debate on human-animal relations, but that combating its negative effects is a stated aim of some modern philosophers and activists.

Download or read book Cultural Encyclopedia of Vegetarianism written by Margaret Puskar-Pasewicz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for students, general readers, vegetarians, and vegans, as well as those interested in animal welfare and liberation, this A–Z encyclopedia explores the historical and cultural significance of vegetarianism in the United States and beyond. Vegetarianism in the United States did not start in the 1960s—it has a much longer, complex history going back to the early 1800s. Cultural Encyclopedia of Vegetarianism examines that history through the lens of culture, focusing on what vegetarianism has had to say to and about Americans. This A–Z encyclopedia brings together the work of a number of scholars from diverse fields, including history, sociology, philosophy, religious studies, anthropology, nutrition, American studies, religious studies, women's and gender history, and the history of medicine. Approximately 100 essay entries cover cultural and historical aspects of vegetarianism, primarily but not exclusively in relation to the United States, shedding light on the practice's roots in ancient cultures and challenging popular myths and misconceptions related to both vegetarianism and veganism. With discussions on everything from activist movements to cookbooks, the encyclopedia offers a unique, wide-ranging exploration that will appeal to students, practitioners, and anyone else who wants to know more.
