Personhood, Ethics, and Animal Cognition: Situating Animals in Hare's Two Level Utilitarianism
Varner, Gary E. (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, Texas A&M)
Drawing heavily on recent empirical research to update R. M. Hare's two-level utilitarianism and expand Hare's treatment of "intuitive level rules," Gary Varner considers in detail the theory's application to animals while arguing that Hare should have recognized a hierarchy of persons, near-persons, & the merely sentient.
