Beskrivelse
The other animals have been center stage for human contemplation and praxis for as long as we have existed as a species. The Lascaux Cave paintings (15000 BCE) depict about 1000 are animals and one single human like shape (with a bird’s head). In the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (1550 BCE) calculations are given on how to measure food for geese, contrasting between geese kept in cages and free-range geese. This talk will start with Pythagoras of Samos’ (570-495) idea of vegetarianism as a matter of peacefulness and end with the invention of the modern scientific concept of ‘animal welfare’ born out of animal ethics in the 1920s.
