Description
Summary:This contribution 1 is based on a conference theme, namely "Radical Ecological Conversion after Laudato Si’: Discovering the Intrinsic Value of all Creatures", hosted at the Pontifical Gregorian University, from 7 to 8 March 2018. It puts an affirmation of the intrinsic value of other living creatures to the test. How could one eat such creatures and affirm their intrinsic value? This dilemma will be unpacked through critical reflection on each of the key terms in the conference theme with the addition of two others, namely "eating" and "way", while the "all" in "all creatures" is tested for its inclusivity.
