June 23, 2022 21Why Veganism Matters
The Moral Value of AnimalsGARY L. FRANCIONE“Many—perhaps most—people
agree that animals are not things
that may be treated in any way one
pleases. Given that starting point,
Professor Francione argues that
veganism is a moral imperative. ...
The book contains many engaging
arguments that advance our
understanding of just how much
animals are owed.”
—David Benatar,
author of The Human PredicamentBalance
How It Works and What It MeansPAUL THAGARD“From the absolutely literal—how
a brain out of balance brings on
vertigo—to a dizzying range of
metaphors spanning science, medicine,
politics, literature, and art, Balance
connects it all. [Thagard] applies
his keen analytic skills to sort the
all-pervasive metaphors of balance
into the strong, the bogus, and the
downright toxic. Like a balanced fine
wine, Balance is to be enjoyed.”
