Tom Regan
Tom Regan (born November 28, 1938) is an American philosopher who specializes in animal rights theory. He is professor emeritus of philosophy at North Carolina State University, where he taught from 1967 until his retirement in 2001.〔("Tom Regan" ), North Carolina State University, accessed 4 June 2011.〕
Regan is the author of numerous books on the philosophy of animal rights, including ''The Case for Animal Rights'' (1983), one of a handful of studies that have significantly influenced the modern animal rights movement. In these, he argues that non-human animals are what he calls the "subjects-of-a-life", just as humans are, and that, if we want to ascribe value to all human beings regardless of their ability to be rational agents, then to be consistent, we must similarly ascribe it to non-humans.〔Regan, Tom. ''The Case for Animal Rights''. University of California Press 1983.〕
Since 1985, he has served with his wife Nancy as co-founder and co-president of the (Culture and Animals Foundation ), a nonprofit organization "committed to fostering the growth of intellectual and artistic endeavors united by a positive concern for animals."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Culture and Animals Foundation )〕

Regan graduated from Thiel College in 1960, receiving his M.A. in 1962 and his PhD in 1966 from the University of Virginia. He taught philosophy at North Carolina State University from 1967 until 2001.
