Interspecies Ethics explores animals' vast capacity for agency, justice, solidarity, humor, and communication across species.
Cynthia Willett approfondisce l'etica e la teoria sociale, con il suo lavoro che si immerge nelle complessità della filosofia continentale contemporanea. Esplora quadri etici e sistemi morali, portando spesso una lente critica al pensiero morale tradizionale. Il suo approccio è analitico e al tempo stesso cerca di comprendere le dimensioni morali della società. Gli scritti di Willett sfidano i lettori a riconsiderare le proprie ipotesi etiche e a impegnarsi più profondamente con la moralità in vari contesti sociali.

Placing theorists in conversation with comedians, the book offers a full-frontal approach to the very foundation of comedy and its profound political impact. Here the authors address the four major theories of humor - superiority, relief, incongruity, and social play - through the lens of feminist and game-changing comics Wanda Sykes, Margaret Cho, Hannah Gadsby, Hari Kondabolu, and Tig Notaro
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.
