Mirror of Humanity

--A book on animal ethics that awakens everyone's outlook on life. We cannot escape the human perspective, but we can reflect on how we get along with other creatures on this earth under "anthropocentrism".
--Start with small things, pay attention to the close, and respect every life. Does keeping cats and dogs at home as pets go against their nature? Can I make decisions for my pets? Is the zoo really a "prison" for exhibiting animal prisoners? Can I still go there? Can I still eat meat? This book responds to the daily problems and mentalities of people and animals from the perspective of moral philosophy and ethics with a gentle and rational attitude.
--Saving animals is saving humans themselves. Animal ethics not only aims to reduce the suffering of animals, but also aims to improve people's moral qualities and promote social moral progress.
--A masterpiece by renowned political philosophers, recommended by Zhou Lian, Liang Zhiping, Mang Ping, and Liang Wendao [Brief Introduction]
This book focuses on issues related to animal ethics, and hopes to enable readers from different backgrounds to find ways for humans and animals to get along and coexist in their personal lives and public environments.
This book begins by tracing the origins and evolution of anthropocentrism and analyzing its crux, arguing that "animals should also be a moral issue worthy of discussion." It then traces the social and intellectual context for the rise of animal ethics and ventures into the realm of philosophy, introducing utilitarianism, Kantianism, Aristotle's "goodness," feminism, and animal ethics within the context of virtue ethics.
The author strives to use concise, plain language and rigorous, clear arguments to rationally and warmly invite readers to consider animal issues. Animal ethics aims not only to reduce animal suffering but also to improve human morality and promote social progress. This book is adapted from the popular audio program "Watch Ideal" and has been revised and published.
