Rezension zu „Zoopolis, English edition “
it reinvigorated my view of animal rights and political theory, presenting a compelling, if pretty utopian, picture of just and egalitarian animal-human relations. More importantly, perhaps, it better illuminated my own understanding of my relationship with animals close to me, Mortimer (dog) and Tadpole (cat). Samuel Hawke, Social Justice First This is the book that everyone in animal ethics ought to be talking about... extremely well written and carefully argued, and stuffed with fascinating observations about humans, animals and the relations between them... Dream novel: Margaret Atwood reads Zoopolis and creates a fictional world like that.

Zoopolis is a major contribution to both animal ethics and political philosophy, and will provide much interesting debate. Alasdair Cochrane, The Philosophers Magazine eloquent and extremely thought-provoking astonishingly free of sentimentality while still brimming with passion Books like this - meticulously thought-out, very attractively reasoned, with no hint of screed - do inestimable good in their incremental way, and Zoopolis is among the best Ive ever read, mainly because it avoids the pitfalls of extremism that would make it look untenable to the unconverted.
