We don't really understand all the instincts of animals, but, we do share embodiment with them.  And so that becomes a basis for imagining what their perspective is like, just like it becomes the basis for understanding what's going on with other people." - Dr. Maurice HamingtonEpisode 1 of Series 9 Unveiling Vegan Culture TranscriptIn this episode we invite philosophy professor Maurice Hammington to explore the world of veganism and the moral imagination that underpins it.
