📘 About the book
A thought-provoking exploration of vegan philosophy that includes controversial issues still debated within the vegan movement, this book goes deep into the ethical, scientific, and philosophical reasons why vegans reject some products and practices, uncovering an enlightened worldview that challenges exploitation, inspires moral progress, and celebrates sentient life in all its forms. From the main axioms of the philosophy of veganism to the reasons behind refusing backyard eggs, ahimsa silk, oysters, or horse riding, each chapter offers clarity, evidence, and insight for anyone seeking to understand what living by the vegan philosophy means.
