The dignity and value of non-human animals are explored in an interdisciplinary and wide-ranging account, with essays by leading philosophers, ethnologists, and writers. The essays argue for applying the concept of dignity beyond its usual humanist framework and introduce readers to animal dignity in history, law, science, philosophy, and literature. They suggest how we might ensure a flourishing environment in times of ecological destruction and climate breakdown. The variety of engagement knits together a fruitful way forward for progressive relations between all species.

Understanding the dignity and value of non-human animals is a complex and interdisciplinary endeavor that involves contributions from leading philosophers, ethnologists, and writers. This account of animal dignity, with a foreword by world-leading primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, explores the concept of dignity beyond its usual humanist framework and introduces readers to animal dignity in history, law, science, philosophy, and literature. The essays collected here argue for applying the concept of dignity to non-human animals and suggest ways to ensure a flourishing environment in times of ecological destruction and climate breakdown. Historians, primatologists, philosophers, novelists, and artists approach the concept of animal dignity creatively, offering interpretations that are academically rigorous as well as personal and literary. This variety of engagement creates a fruitful way forward for progressive relations between all species.
