As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

Yes, logical possibility is a matter of whether a proposition is consistent with the laws of logic, such as the Principle of Noncontradiction. So as long as there are no false premises, you could say the proposition is 'logically' possible. However, a valid argument isn't necessarily a sound one, as you demonstrate. The premises of the argument have to be true as well. So this is not a matter of logic, but rather empirical evidence. |
