Focusing on the human diet as a form of raw veganism, Alvaro reflects on ethical motivations for veganism and offers thoughts on what remains to be done as we consider our relationships with other animals and the environment. It is important reading for us all. The book will enrich debates about how ethical veganism, rather than its more commodified form, contributes to ways in which we can live well while not oppressing other animals and the environment.' - Kay Peggs, Kingston University, UK 'Alvaro challenges many human diets, including mine: stop cooking! The principal reason is evolutionary: we are adapted to thrive on raw vegan diets. His thesis, which supports a qualified ban on the consumption of animal products, merits serious consideration from those interested in human nutrition, ecological sustainability, and moral philosophy.' - Jan Deckers, Newcastle University, UK 'In Raw Veganism, moral philosopher Carlo Alvaro introduces readers to what he calls the human diet , practiced in the context of a virtuous life that embraces moderation and eschews violence. By countering many of the philosophical arguments traditionally made to support a vegetarian or vegan existence, critiquing the creation of synthetic meats, and considering the limitations of traditional veganism, Alvaro makes a solid case for the ethical and health supportive practice of raw veganism as the most sustainable counter to contemporary health and environmental challenges.' - Laura Wright, Western Carolina University, USA Author InformationCarlo Alvaro is Adjunct Assistant Professor of Philosophy at New York City College of Technology, USA. He is the author of Ethical Veganism, Virtue Ethics, and the Great Soul (2019). Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
