Overview

This open access book explores the role of imagination in animal ethics and its constitutive links to empathy/sympathy and anthropomorphism. The book argues for the constitutive role of imagination in ethical deliberation, but acknowledges that there exist important limits to its use. However, "limit" is here understood not merely negatively as restriction and insufficiency, but rather positively as "condition of possibility," so what the book explores and analyses are the conditions for a positive and fruitful use of the imagination in ethics. The book uses as a "frame" the questions and issues raised in J.M. Coetzee's The Lives of Animals to explore some central and salient themes.
