Des animaux et des hommes [French]

By Alain Finkielkraut

"When the veil is lifted a fraction on the appalling lives of chickens, cows or pigs in the concentration-camp spaces that have replaced traditional farms, our imaginations immediately projects us into their situation, and a growing percentage of opinion now goes against Descartes and supports the philosopher Jeremy Bentham: "It's not a question of can they reason or can they talk, but can they suffer?" This explains the recent irruption of animal welfare issues on the political scene. I discussed this cause in my programme "R pliques" on France Culture because I would obviously answer "yes" to Bentham's question but also because animal supporters are not united."
F.

Brought together in one volume tackling a fiercely topical theme especially close to Alain Finkielkraut's heart, these topics debated on France Culture's programme R pliques have been re-explored and transcribed by each of the contributors.
