Common Ground S1E4.1: Battle Of Ideas - Utilitarianism and a Rights View
Channel: Jeremy The Ape
Date: 2020-08-03

Philosophies aren't just taught in university classrooms.  Oftentimes they're an invisible ideology that influences our thoughts, language and overall claims making designed to help us live an ethical life.  

Ever since Peter Singer published Animal Liberation in 1975 and Tom Regan published The Case For Animal Rights in 1983, there have been two competing philosophies within the animal movement.  So what philosophy predominately influences the animal movement today and is this the framework that will be best in helping us advance the plight of our fellow animals?   We explore these questions through the following topics: 

0:38  Intro
1:24 Start of show
1:41 Is animal rights the main philosophy of the movement?
2:05 What's the difference between rights-based animal rights and widely defined animal rights?
4:43 What is utilitarianism?
8:28 What is rule utilitarianism?
9:33 What is a rights-based approach and how is it different to utilitarianism?
10:49 What language is associated with each philosophy?
12:42 What do these two philosophies say about the Impossible Burger?
17:48 Outro

Common Ground is a new series from The Animal Rights Show.  We invite all animal advocates from around the world to discuss important and complex topics.  We may not always agree, however through respectful solution-based dialogue we attempt to find common ground.

We want to hear from you!  Let us know what you think in the comments and don't forget to share if you know others interested in these topics :)

😃 ABOUT THE ANIMAL RIGHTS SHOW 😃 
---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
We often hear the term ‘animal rights,’ but what does it truly mean?    Are people referring to the genuine philosophy as framed by the originator of rights-based animal rights, Tom Regan, or are they referring to something else?  The Animal Rights Show intends to explore what animal rights truly means through regular Zoom calls exploring current and complex topics and how they relate to the philosophy of animal rights.
