Végétarismes pluriels et déprise carniste : Approche philosophique

Abstract

The book, titled "Plural Vegetarisms and Carnist Disengagement: A Philosophical Approach," addresses the marginalization of vegetarian practices in Western discussions concerning ecological and political issues. Author Amandine Andruchiw argues that informed and convivial vegetarian practices offer promising avenues for advancing social justice and achieving better consideration for all living beings, both human and non-human. The philosophical analysis explores how vegetarianism confronts the traditional concept of "good eating," which places meat at its symbolic, physical, and physiological center. By questioning the narratives (real and fictional) that surround meat consumption, the book calls for a serious re-evaluation of these dietary choices. It ultimately advocates for a fundamental paradigm shift—a "carnist disengagement"—to move towards a more just and sustainable common world from an animal, social, and environmental perspective.
