Veganism vs Violence
Two versions of this paper aimed at thoughtful, mature people on Veganism and Violence.
This essay, "Veganism vs Violence," is aimed at
thoughtful and mature people who are either educated or open to
education. Such people need facts and arguments, not just
opinions, and they need reasonably thorough coverage, not just
superficial commentary.
The paper is suitable for widespread dissemination as many have
found, because non-violence is a simple idea, and the essay is
not biased in favour of any one ethical theory but rather shows
how the major moral views lead to non-violence. There is also
an abridged version of "Veganism vs Violence." It is condensed
in parts and does not discuss moral theory, relying instead on
a more common-sensical account of the ethics of veganism versus
omnivorism.
I sincerely hope that you will do the part you have to offer
for getting V v V out there into the world to do its
work.
The sister paper to "Veganism vs Violence" is "Anti-Vivisection
and Anti-Violence" (see page). In a
forthcoming book I will make a meta-ethical case for
non-violent eating and so forth, adding a great deal to the
analysis, critiques, and justifications offered in these two
papers.
