A Theory of Justice for Animals (Oxford UP, 2013) is Garner’s major work applying political philosophy to animal rights. He employs both ideal theory (what justice demands in principle) and non-ideal theory (what is achievable given current political realities) to argue that animals are proper subjects of justice. The book critiques purely moral approaches and insists that the political dimension of animal protection has been neglected. This is the English original of the Chinese translation 《动物正义论》(王珀译, 上海人民出版社, 2025).
