### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Primer
*by B***N on July 7, 2008*

Robert Moore above says it all, but I just wanted to add that this is one of the best philosophy books I've ever read. I teach philosophy so that's a big thing to say. The philosophy of the writer Midgley is very very sharp and although it's common sense in some cases, Midgley has extraordinary common sense.While the French are fruit loops and the Americans dry as dust in philosophy, Midgley operates out of a witty but kind, sharp but not prickly, Britishness, that is too often as Moore put it, unjustly neglected.If you're tired of stupid Deleuze and mindless Foucault, as well as erudite but incomprehensible Peirce, open up Midgley. Midgley, Midgley, Midgley!I've read three of her books in a row, and this one is by far the best. Midgley is right on the money in every sentence throughout this book.Bravura performance without a trace of Deleuzian diva-dom.Somehow she gets you to see that animals aren't that different from us (at least among the social species of animal such as cats and dogs and simians) and she also provides us with a primer of philosophers on animal and women's rights in tight little nuggets that are highly condensed and yet insatiably readable. This is the book for anyone interested in teaching a course on animal rights. Nothing else will do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Total Delight!
*by D***A on August 25, 2017*

Marvelous! I'm reading Midgley's oeuvre from the beginning and this - her third book - was an absolute and total delight. Especially in light of how difficult I found Heart and Mind (2nd book; compilation of essays). While, obviously, some of the material Midgley references is out of date regarding our studies of animals, the philosophical principles she presents remain solid, and she has, I believe, proved her point in "removing barriers which our tradition has erected against concern for animals." I appreciate her logical, pragmatic approach to a topic (animal welfare) that I am passionate about and committed to; my hope is that some of what I learned will filter through me and into conversations with people who see no point in eliminating animal suffering.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente
