Interspecies Ethics explores animals' vast capacity for agency, justice, solidarity, humor, and communication across species.
Cynthia Willett sa zameriava na etiku a sociálnu teóriu, pričom jej dielo sa ponára do zložitostí súčasnej kontinentálnej filozofie. Skúma etické rámce a morálne systémy, často s kritickým pohľadom na tradičné morálne myslenie. Jej prístup je analytický a zároveň sa snaží pochopiť morálne dimenzie spoločnosti. Willettine texty vyzývajú čitateľov, aby prehodnotili svoje etické predpoklady a hlbšie sa zamysleli nad morálkou v rôznych sociálnych kontextoch.



Interspecies Ethics explores animals' vast capacity for agency, justice, solidarity, humor, and communication across species.
Placing theorists in conversation with comedians, the book offers a full-frontal approach to the very foundation of comedy and its profound political impact. Here the authors address the four major theories of humor - superiority, relief, incongruity, and social play - through the lens of feminist and game-changing comics Wanda Sykes, Margaret Cho, Hannah Gadsby, Hari Kondabolu, and Tig Notaro
Comedy, from social ridicule to the laughter of the carnival, provides effective tools for reinforcing social patterns of domination and weapons for emancipation. This book states that comic trumps liberal accounts of freedom by drawing attention to bodies and intimate relationships, topics which are usually neglected by political philosophy.
