What can a philosopher teach us about veganism and how to make the change when confronted with old habits, latent desires, and an apprehension of the difficulty the adjustment would mean to those who share our dinner tables?
That’s the focus of this episode. Host Joseph Grove talks to Matthew C. Halteman, Ph.D., a professor of philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Mich., and a fellow at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics in the UK. He is the author of “Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation” and co-editor of “Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating.”His new book, “Hungry Beautiful Animals,” was released last November and is a heartfelt, humane, and humorous exploration of how going vegan can bring abundance into our lives.
The conversation briefly references various philosophical angles that touch on the issue of veganism but focuses on practical ways to consider making the ethical change to a lifestyle that eschews inclusion of animal-sourced products.
