From Genesis to Animal rights: thinking about animals throughout Western history Part 2: From voyages of discovery to Animal rights Ghent University

Ciska De Ruyver
Van de veertiende tot midden negentiende eeuw vonden twee belangrijke verschuivingen plaats in het denken over dieren. Enerzijds werd het theologisch antropocentrisch denken stap voor stap door wetenschappelijke inzichten verlaten en werd de mens onttroond. Met de ontwikkeling van de evolutieleer vond anderzijds een belangrijke paradigmaverschuiving plaats: de verwantschap van de mens met andere dieren werd duidelijk. Van toen af aan nam de ...

Het fundamentele verschil dat verondersteld wordt te bestaan tussen mens en dier is een leidend principe. De kerkvaders eigenden zich het denken van ...

In July 2002, Germany became the first country in the European Union to introduce an animal welfare state objective into the constitution. Almost twenty years later, it is time to analyze the impact of the German animal welfare state objective. As other countries, such as Belgium and the Netherlands, are considering following the German example, the implementation of animal welfare in a constitution is more topical than ever. This article will ...
