Talking Animals, Law and Philosophy: 'Are Human Rights Animals' Rights, Too?'

Speaker: Saskia Stucki (Senior Research Fellow, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg)

A veritable animal turn has occurred in many fields of thinking, sweeping away outdated philosophical and scientific beliefs, and making room for more thoughtful, sensible study of the relation between humans and other animals. Law and legal science, however, have remained relatively untouched by this revolution. The talk series “Talking Animals, Law and Philosophy” wants to remedy this situation by providing a welcoming, engaging and rigorous forum for debate and ideas about the relations between animals, law and philosophy.
