13 位哲学家（包括 Kymlicka、Sebo 等）基于一份真实的法庭之友意见书，论证为何黑猩猩应被承认为拥有基本权利的法律人格。 Thirteen philosophers (including Kymlicka, Sebo, and others) present philosophical arguments — based on an actual amicus brief — for why chimpanzees should be recognized as legal persons with fundamental rights.
Chimpanzee Rights (Routledge, 2018) grew out of an actual amicus curiae brief filed in support of granting legal personhood to chimpanzees. Thirteen philosophers — including Kristin Andrews, Will Kymlicka, Jeff Sebo, Sue Donaldson, and others — lay out the philosophical case for why chimpanzees possess the cognitive, emotional, and social capacities that ground fundamental legal rights. The book bridges philosophy of mind, animal ethics, and legal theory.
