SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Plutarch is virtually unique in surviving classical authors in arguing that animals are rational and sentient and in concluding that human beings must take notice of their interests. Stephen Newmyer explores Plutarch's three animal-related treatises, as well as passages from his other ethical treatises, that argue that non-human animals are rational and therefore deserve to fall within the sphere of human moral concern."--BOOK JACKET.
