While you work on your final self-eval, etc., a little food for thought (vegan, of course):

How Far Should We Carry the Logic of the Animal-Rights Movement?

Kelefa Sanneh reviews “Animal Liberation Now,” by Peter Singer; “Justice for Animals: Our Collective Responsibility,” by Martha Nussbaum; “Fear Factories,” by Matthew Scully; and “Our Kindred Creatures,” by Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy.

It’s an interesting survey of recent work in “animal rights” that follows more of the liberal/pragmatic strain of philosophy rather than the French theory strain we read (Deleuze-Guattari, Derrida, Haraway, Wolfe). But very interesting to see the problems that arise when jumping off from the egalitarian notion of common “rights” rather than the “limitrophy” of Derrida.

Hasta luego, and have a great summer!
