''Animal Rights Without Liberation: Applied Ethics and Human Obligations'' is a 2012 book by British political theorist Alasdair Cochrane, in which it is argued that animal rights philosophy can be decoupled from animal liberation philosophy by the adoption of the interest-based rights approach. Cochrane argues that there is no reason that nonhuman animals should be excluded from justice, and adapts Joseph Raz's account of interest rights to argue for a right not to be made to suffer and a right not to be killed, but not a right to freedom, for animals. Subsequent chapters apply the theory to a number of interactions between humans and animals; first animal experimentation, then animal agriculture, the genetic engineering of animals, the use of animals in entertainment and sport, the relationship of animals to environmental practices and the use of animals in cultural practices. The book is based upon Cochrane's doctoral thesis, which was completed at the London School of Economics, and builds upon subjects he had discussed in previous publications. It was published by Columbia University Press as the second book in their series Critical Perspectives on Animals, edited by Gary Francione and Gary Steiner. Critics from a variety of backgrounds responded positively to the book, focussing on how Cochrane had found a middle ground between traditional animal rights philosophy and utilitarianism. ==Background== ''Animal Rights Without Liberation'' is based upon Cochrane's doctoral thesis, completed at the London School of Economics (LSE) under the supervision of Cécile Fabre, with Paul Kelly acting as an advisor. The thesis was examined by Anne Phillips and Albert Weale, the former of whom suggested the title which was used for the book. The arguments in the book differ from the arguments in the thesis, however, and in preparing the manuscript for publication, Cochrane drew upon the advice of a number of academics, especially Robert Garner. In addition to presenting ideas used in the book at meetings of the Political Theory Group at LSE, Cochrane published an article entitled "Animal interests and animal experiments: An interest-based approach" in the journal ''Res Publica'' in 2006. This article won the journal's second annual Postgraduate Essay Prize, and formed the basis of the third chapter of ''Animal Rights Without Liberation''. Cochrane continued to work on questions of animal rights after the completion of his doctorate, publishing articles on the subject in ''Utilitas'' and ''Political Studies'' in 2009, the latter of which provoked responses from Garner in 2011 and philosopher John Hadley in 2013. Cochrane published his first book, ''An Introduction to Animals and Political Theory'', through Palgrave Macmillan in 2010. ''Animal Rights Without Liberation'' was published by Columbia University Press, as part of the series Critical Perspectives on Animals: Theory, Culture, Science, and Law. The series, edited by legal scholar Gary Francione and philosopher Gary Steiner, aims to give direction to the emerging interdisciplinary research in animal studies. ''Animal Rights Without Liberation'' was the second book published as a part of the series, after Francione and Garner's 2010 ''The Animal Rights Debate: Abolition or Regulation?'' It was published in 2012, both in paperback (ISBN 978-0-231-15827-5) and with a cloth binding (ISBN 978-0-231-15826-8). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Animal Rights Without Liberation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
