About the speaker:
Peter Adamson is Professor of Late Ancient and Arabic Philosophy at the LMU in Munich. After attaining his PhD from the University of Notre Dame in 2000, he worked at King's College London until moving to Munich in 2012. He is the author of Al-Kindī and Al-Razī in the series “Great Medieval Thinkers” from Oxford University Press, and has edited or co-edited numerous books, including The Cambridge Companion to Arabic Philosophy and Interpreting Avicenna: Critical Essays. He is also the host of the History of Philosophy podcast (www.historyofphilosophy.net), which appears as a series of books with Oxford University Press.
Abstract:
It is often assumed that prior to modern times, and especially the discovery of evolution by Darwin, philosophers had fairly negative and reductive views of non-human animals. On this assumption, philosophers discussed them mostly as a contrast to humans, emphasizing their lack of rationality and according them no ethical value. In this presentation I will challenge that assumption by looking at treatments of animals in three global philosophical traditions: ancient Greek, ancient Chinese, and Islamic. We will see that to the contrary, sophisticated arguments were given to show that animals are capable of rational thinking (if not to the same degree as humans) and that they should be of moral concern to us.
