Daniel Dombrowski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel A. Dombrowski (born 1953) is an American philosopher. He is currently professor at Seattle University in the United States. He works in ethics, theology, classics, and literature.

He has written extensively about ethics and animals. His most notable publication was Babies and Beasts in 1997. The thesis of the book was to defend "Argument from Marginal Cases," (AMC) which argues that animals should be thought of in the same light and treated like humans because of their similarities to babies and the severely mentally handicapped. This work traced the positions of modern philosopher on the AMC.
