Psychological Plausibility for Animal Ethics
View through CrossRef
This chapter outlines the ethical implications of the psychological processes discussed in chapters 2–5. It illustrates the range of views one can take on how psychological processes impact moral ideals, within the context of debates over “ought implies can” and collective moral obligations. The main goal of the chapter is to show how psychological factors must inform ethical and political theorizing about animals. Criteria for assessing the psychological plausibility of moral ideals are proposed and applied to popular theories in animal ethics. These criteria are discussed in relation to “non-ideal” theories for improving treatment of animals and changing attitudes to animals over long periods of time.
