Book excerpt: Dans la lignée de Plaidoyer pour l'altruisme, Matthieu Ricard invite à étendre notre bienveillance à l'ensemble des êtres sensibles. Dans l'intérêt des animaux, mais aussi des hommes. Nous tuons chaque année 60 milliards d'animaux terrestres et 1 000 milliards d'animaux marins pour notre consommation. Un massacre inégalé dans l'histoire de l'Humanité qui pose un défi éthique majeur et nuit à nos sociétés : cette surconsommation aggrave la faim dans le monde, provoque des déséquilibres écologiques, est mauvaise pour notre santé. En plus de l'alimentation, nous instrumentalisons aussi les animaux pour des raisons purement vénales (trafic de la faune sauvage), pour la recherche scientifique ou par simple divertissement (corridas, cirques, zoos). Et si le temps était venu de les considérer non plus comme des êtres inférieurs mais comme nos "concitoyens" sur cette terre ? Nous vivons dans un monde interdépendant où le sort de chaque être, quel qu'il soit, est intimement lié à celui des autres. Il ne s'agit pas de s'occuper que des animaux mais aussi des animaux. Cet essai lumineux met à la portée de tous les connaissances actuelles sur les animaux, et sur la façon dont nous les traitons. Une invitation à changer nos comportements et nos mentalités.

Download or read book A Plea for the Animals written by Matthieu Ricard and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and wide-ranging indictment of the treatment of animals by humans--and an eloquent plea for animal rights. Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. In a compelling appeal to reason and human kindness, Matthieu Ricard here takes the arguments from his best-sellers Altruism and Happiness to their logical conclusion: that compassion toward all beings, including our fellow animals, is a moral obligation and the direction toward which any enlightened society must aspire. He chronicles the appalling sufferings of the animals we eat, wear, and use for adornment or “entertainment,” and submits every traditional justification for their exploitation to scientific evidence and moral scrutiny. What arises is an unambiguous and powerful ethical imperative for treating all of the animals with whom we share this planet with respect and compassion.

Download or read book Just Hierarchy written by Daniel A. Bell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trenchant defense of hierarchy in different spheres of our lives, from the personal to the political All complex and large-scale societies are organized along certain hierarchies, but the concept of hierarchy has become almost taboo in the modern world. Just Hierarchy contends that this stigma is a mistake. In fact, as Daniel Bell and Wang Pei show, it is neither possible nor advisable to do away with social hierarchies. Drawing their arguments from Chinese thought and culture as well as other philosophies and traditions, Bell and Wang ask which forms of hierarchy are justified and how these can serve morally desirable goals. They look at ways of promoting just forms of hierarchy while minimizing the influence of unjust ones, such as those based on race, sex, or caste. Which hierarchical relations are morally justified and why? Bell and Wang argue that it depends on the nature of the social relation and context. Different hierarchical principles ought to govern different kinds of social relations: what justifies hierarchy among intimates is different from what justifies hierarchy among citizens, countries, humans and animals, and humans and intelligent machines. Morally justified hierarchies can and should govern different spheres of our social lives, though these will be very different from the unjust hierarchies that have governed us in the past. A vigorous, systematic defense of hierarchy in the modern world, Just Hierarchy examines how hierarchical social relations can have a useful purpose, not only in personal domains but also in larger political realms.

Download or read book L Apocalypse des animaux 1 Hen 85 90 une propagande militaire written by Daniel Assefa and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the majority of scholars, the Animal Apocalypse is a militant text, a piece of pro-Maccabean propaganda. This text, however, develops theological reflections that are distinctly different from a justification of an armed struggle. Its themes are even incompatible with the Maccabean movement. It is impossible to condemn the Second Temple and, at the same time, mobilise people for a fight in order to purify that very Temple. After dealing with text-critical issues, this work challenges the thesis that the text is military propaganda through the use of narrative and historical approaches. The analyses, besides proposing a new way of a studying an apocalypse, spell out the peculiarity and the significance of the theology of the Animal Apocalypse in connection with the biblical history of Israel and the theology of the Qumran community.

Book excerpt: Pensées animales : Manifeste pour l'anti-spécisme, le végétarisme, le droit et la libération des animaux, est un livre qui traite de plusieurs thèmes concernant le végétarisme, les droits des animaux et les animaux de ferme. Après plus de 10 ans au Canada et au sein de plusieurs organisations locales de défenses animales, j'ai pu avoir une expérience du travail militant et participer à des campagnes d'éducation et d'actions directes contre des industries. Celle du foie gras, de la vivisection, de la fourrure : j'ai regroupé quelques idées qui relatent mes expériences au Canada mais aussi des analyses de sujets à controverses comme le végétarisme, l'abattage rituel religieux, les relations des médias avec certains mouvements militants. Ces textes se présentent comme un recueil pamphlétaire et d'essais. Cependant je ne me concentre pas seulement sur le Canada, la France est au centre de mes préoccupations.

Download or read book The Intellectual Fraud of Meat Eaters written by Thomas Lepeltier and published by Max Milo. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To be a vegetarian when you can eat meat is to deny the animal in you." "To slaughter an animal, you have to love animals"! "When living beings start to eat stones, the problem [of meat] will no longer be an issue." These are some quotes from philosophers and intellectuals that defy logic and encourage cruelty. Instead of recognizing that we should not cause suffering and kill sentient beings just for our pleasure, these intellectuals justify the consumption of animal products. They support a society that slaughters millions of animals daily because it does not want to change its eating habits. This book enumerates and denounces all the arguments developed by carnivores so that this great massacre can stop and a constructive debate on the place of animals in society can finally begin. Through books, articles and television appearances, experts and journalists criticize, denounce and mock the defenders of animals. This is not without consequences. Nowadays, few people remain insensitive to the fate of livestock. When a film is shot inside a slaughterhouse and broadcast in the media, most people are shocked. Then, confronted with the arguments of vegans and vegetarians, they look for answers. What to think? What to do? What to eat? And then these intellectuals come along and tell them that vegans and vegetarians are wrong. Each time, the basic ethical principle that we should not cause suffering and kill a sentient being just for our own pleasure is forgotten or misinterpreted. Instead, these intellectuals advance arguments that defy logic, have no rational basis, and encourage cruelty. But in so doing, they reinforce a society that unnecessarily kills a staggering number of animals because it does not want to change its eating habits. This book takes the position of denouncing them loud and clear; not for the pleasure of criticizing, but in the hope that this clarification will contribute to stopping the great massacre of livestock and serve to launch a constructive debate on their place in society. Thomas Lepeltier is a historian and philosopher of science. He is the author of several books on this theme, including Darwin hérétique (2007, Seuil), Univers parallèles (2010, Seuil), La Face cachée de l'univers (2014, Seuil). In 2013, he also published a book on animal ethics, La Révolution végétarienne (Éditions Sciences Humaines).

Download or read book The Ethics of Animal Labor written by Jocelyne Porcher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for a moral consideration of animal work relations. Paying special attention to the livestock industry, the author challenges the zootechnical denigration of animals for increased productivity awhile championing the collaborative nature of work. For Porcher, work is not merely a means to production but a means of living together unity. This unique reconsideration of work envisions animals as co-laborers with humans, rather than overwrought tools for exploitative, and often lethal, employment. Readers will learn about the disjunction between those focused on productivity and profit and those who favor a more ethical work environment for animals. Porcher's text also engages environmental and political debates concerning animal-human relations.

Download or read book Old and New Horizons of Sandplay Therapy written by Martin Kalff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoughtful and comprehensive book sheds new light on Sandplay Therapy, a method founded in the 1960s by Dora Kalff. It is based on the psychology of C.G. Jung and Margaret Lowenfeld, with inspiration from eastern contemplative traditions. This method is effectively used for psychotherapy, psychological counselling and development of the personality with children and adults. This book grew out of the collaboration of a supervision and research group with Italian therapists which regularly met for a period of over 10 years under the guidance of Martin Kalff. It focuses on how to understand in more depth the processes clients experience in Sandplay Therapy. An important feature of Sandplay is the possibility to create scenes in a box with sand. Worlds arise through the shaping of the sand and the use of miniatures, humans, animals, trees, etc. These creations manifest inner conflicts as well as untouched healing potential. This book discusses a number of techniques based on mindfulness such as ‘spontaneous embodiment’, the use of colours, spontaneous poetry, ‘entering into the dream’, to understand the work done in a Sandplay process and dreams and presents examples of clinical cases. These techniques are not only valuable for supervision but can also be used in therapy to help clients reconnect with body and feelings.

Book excerpt: Las almas heridas es un libro sobre las huellas de la infancia, la necesidad del relato y los mecanismos de la memoria, elementos desarrollados a partir de la narración de sus vivencias personales hasta su adolescencia. Boris Cyrulnik, un joven cuyas inquietudes intelectuales ya se encaminan por las lindes de la psiquiatría, y que realiza sus primeras prácticas en un asilo para enfermos mentales (donde quedará en shock tras comprobar el aislamiento y las malas prácticas a las que son sometidos los pacientes: lobotomías, camisas de fuerza, etc.). Su nueva obra Les ames blessées (Las almas heridas) no es ni una autobiografía ni un libro de historia de la psiquiatría: se trata de un testimonio personal sobre el nacimiento de una disciplina difícil y apasionante que denominamos psiquiatría.
