Animal Liberation (book) Totally Explained

Everything about Animal Liberation Book totally explained

Animal Liberation is a book by Australian philosopher Peter Singer, published in 1975. Although Singer isn't the first person to apply the concept of moral standing to nonhuman animals (Singer himself says that he heard of the concept from a fellow student rather than coming up with it himself) the book is widely considered within the animal rights movement to be the founding philosophical statement of its ideas. Singer himself rejected the use of the theoretical framework of rights when it comes to animals: he argued that the interests of animals should be considered because of their ability to feel suffering and that the idea of rights wasn't necessary in order to consider them.
The central argument of the book is an expansion of the utilitarian idea that 'the greatest good for the greatest number' is the only measure of good or ethical behaviour. Singer argues that there's no reason not to apply this to other animals. Although Jeremy Bentham applied utilitarianism in this way, utilitarians in general have not.
