Zusammenfassung:Originalausgabe Dissertation, Universität Tübingen, 2012
In 'Cognitive Kin, Moral Strangers?', Judith Benz-Schwarzburg reveals the scope and relevance of cognitive kinship between humans and non-human animals. She presents a wide range of empirical studies on culture, language and theory of mind in animals and then leads us to ask why such complex socio-cognitive abilities in animals matter. Her focus is on ethical theory as well as on the practical ways in which we use animals. Are great apes maybe better described as non-human persons? Should we really use dolphins as entertainers or therapists? Benz-Schwarzburg demonstrates how much we know already about animals? capabilities and needs and how this knowledge should inform the ways in which we treat animals in captivity and in the wild.
