- More about Animals and Misanthropy
This book explores and defends the claim that misanthropy is a justified attitude towards humankind in light of how humans compare with and treat animals. It suggests that human failings are too entrenched to permit optimism about the future of animals, but individual people can accommodate to the truth of misanthropy through cultivating mindful, humble, and compassionate relationships to animals.

This captivating volume delves into and upholds the argument that misanthropy is a warranted stance towards humanity, considering the contrasting ways in which humans compare to and interact with animals. By examining the disparities between humans and animals, the misanthropic verdict is further reinforced, while introspection into the moral and other shortcomings inherent in our treatment of animals sheds light on the inherent flaws in such practices. It is contended that the deep-rooted flaws in human nature render any optimism for the future of animals futile, yet there are proposed strategies for individuals to embrace and adapt to the reality of misanthropy by fostering mindful, humble, and compassionate relationships with animals. Drawing upon both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, David E. Cooper presents a novel and thought-provoking perspective on the intricate realm of animal ethics.
