Will Kymlicka

Will Kymlicka is a Canadian philosopher known for his work on multiculturalism and citizenship. He argues that societies should recognize and accommodate the diverse identities and cultures of their members, promoting equality and respect. In animal ethics, Kymlicka extends this focus on recognition to non-human animals, suggesting that their social and cultural practices should also be considered in moral discussions. His approach emphasizes the importance of community and belonging, advocating for policies that support both human and animal welfare in a way that acknowledges their unique perspectives and needs within a multicultural framework.
