With due concern for both animals and the sustainability of liberal democracies, the book seeks to redefine animals’ political-legal position in the most successful political model of our time. Advancements in modern science point out that many animals are sentient and that, like humans, they have certain elementary interests. The revised perception of animals as beings with elementary interests raises questions concerning the liberal democratic institutional framework: does a liberal democracy have a responsibility towards the animals on its territory, and if so, what kind? Do animals need legal animal rights and lawyers to represent them in court, and should they also be represented in parliament? And how much change of this kind could a liberal democracy really endure?" --Cover Výrazy tezauru ochrana zvířat * etika * politická filozofie * filozofie práva Klasifikační znaky 5206 - Ekologická politika 3611 - Humanitní vědy 0406 - Politický rámec 1206 - Prameny a odvětví práva ISBN 978-3-030-41923-3 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie
