      title = {Kantianism for animals : a radical Kantian animal ethic /},
      abstract = {This open access book revises Kants ethical thought in one  of its most notorious respects: its exclusion of animals  from moral consideration. The book gives readers in animal  ethics an accessible introduction to Kants views on our  duties to others, and his view that we have only indirect  duties regarding animals. It then investigates how one  would have to depart from Kant in order to recognise that  animals matter morally for their own sake. Particular  attention is paid to Kants Formula of Humanity,' the role  of autonomy and the moral law, as well as Kants notions of  practical reason and animal instinct. The result is a  deliberately amended version of Kantianism which  nevertheless remains faithful to central aspects of Kants  thought. The books final part illustrates the frameworks  use in applied contexts, addressing the issues of using  animals as mere means, the ethics of veganism and  vegetarianism, and environmental protection. Nico Dario  Muller shows how, when furnished with duties to animals,  Kant's moral philosophy can be a powerful resource for  animal ethicists. Nico Dario Muller is a philosopher and  postdoctoral researcher in ethics at the University of  Basel, Switzerland.},
