Interspecies Ethics explores animals' vast capacity for agency, justice, solidarity, humor, and communication across species.
Cynthia Willett se sumerge en la ética y la teoría social, y su obra se adentra en las complejidades de la filosofía continental contemporánea. Explora marcos éticos y sistemas morales, a menudo aportando una perspectiva crítica al pensamiento moral tradicional. Su enfoque es analítico y, al mismo tiempo, busca comprender las dimensiones morales de la sociedad. Los escritos de Willett desafían a los lectores a reconsiderar sus supuestos éticos y a comprometerse más profundamente con la moralidad en diversos contextos sociales.

Comedy, from social ridicule to the laughter of the carnival, provides effective tools for reinforcing social patterns of domination and weapons for emancipation. This book states that comic trumps liberal accounts of freedom by drawing attention to bodies and intimate relationships, topics which are usually neglected by political philosophy.
