Non-Rational Persons and the Original Position: A Rawlsian Defense of Animal Citizenship Open
John Rawls’s approach to political philosophy, like other contractarian theories, is non-sympathetic to those who don’t qualify as moral persons.[1] Mark Rowlands challenges this position in “Contractarianism and Animal Rights” by arguing …
