It offers cautious, large, and unique interpretations of passages from the Manusmrti (law), the Mah?bh?rata (literature), and the Yogas?tra (philosophy), and argues that those texts characteristic direct ethical status to animals and vegetation for no less than 3 purposes: they're sentient, they're alive, and so they own quite a number different correct attributes and abilities.
This booklet is of curiosity to students of Hinduism and the surroundings, faith and the surroundings, Hindu and/or Buddhist philosophy extra greatly, and environmental ethics.
