A court case over an elephant’s right to liberation from the Bronx Zoo shows that we’ve come a long way from Descartes’ concept of animal-as-machine. In episode 53, Ellie and David break down an emerging question in animal rights activism: animal personhood and moral status. What does it mean to be a person? And, what are the implications of legally recognizing animals’ right to life and bodily freedom?Works DiscussedDavid Peña-Guzmán, et al., Chimpanzee Rights: The Philosophers’ Brief Nicolas Malebranche, The Search after TruthLucius Annaeus Seneca, On Instinct in AnimalsPeter Singer, Animal LiberationSteven Wise, Unlocking the CageSupport Overthink on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/overthinkpodcast
