Relations. Beyond Anthropocentrism. Vol. 2 No. 2 (2014). Minding Animals: Part II

A Minding Animals 2 Special Issue (Utrecht, 2012) The second Minding Animals conference was held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in July 2012 to much acclaim. The overarching theme of the conference was how philosophy and ethics are integral when considering the human interrelationship with nonhuman animals. Many delegates explored these relations and delved into the multifaceted challenges that exist. The twelve papers presented in Relations 2 (both issues 1 and 2) will be dedicated to this exploration and how we, as human animals, face often daunting challenges to achieve better protections for our nonhuman animal kin.
