Vegetarianism in the Romantic Era : ウィキペディア英語版 | Vegetarianism in the Romantic Era
Vegetarianism as an ideal and a movement flourished during the Romantic Era. Many of the late Romantics argued in favor of a more natural diet which excluded animal flesh for a plethora of reasons including the state of human and animal health, religious beliefs, economy and class division, and animal rights. The modern vegetarian and vegan movements borrow some of the same principles from the late Romantics to promote the adoption of diets free from animal products. ==Health== In 1699 Edward Tyson documented the overwhelming similarities between humans and animals, particularly apes and monkeys, but it was during the Romantic Era that advances in anthropology and physiognomy began to shape societal views on where humans fit into the world.〔Ritvo, Harriet. “Border Trouble: Shifting the Line between People and Other Animals.” Social Research. Vol. 62. pp. 67-86. 1995.〕 Knowledge about the similarities between human and animal anatomy gave rise to the belief that because non-human animal bodies are alike human bodies in regards to physical senses and emotional responses, consuming animals was morally wrong. Furthermore, it was believed to be beneficial for humans to return to a diet based on plant matter. As Joseph Ritson reasoned, “the teeth and intestines of man being like those of frugivorous animals, he should, naturally, be range'd in this class”.〔Morton, Timothy. “Joseph Ritson, Percy Shelley and the Making of Romantic Vegetarianism.” Romanticism. The University of California, Davis. Vol. 12. pp. 52-61. April 2006.〕 Other noted reasons for a vegetarian diet included reduced canine teeth and the lack of claws or talons in the human body which made it almost impossible to hunt and kill another animal without the aid of manufactured tools, as well as the length of the human intestines which made it more difficult to digest meat.〔Oerlemans, Onno.
