Egoism and animal rights
Keywords:

Jan Narveson has recently suggested that “rational egoism” might provide a defensible moral perspective that would put animals out of the reach of morality without denying that they are capable of suffering. I argue that rational egoism provides a principled indifference to the fate of animals at high cost: the possibility of principled indifference to the fate of „marginal humans”.
