| Abstract: | In the ancient Greek hierarchy of values as outlined by Aristotle, man occupied the top place, followed by (other) animals, plants and minerals: plants exist for [ animals'] sake, and ... the other animals exist for the sake of man, the tame for use and food, the wild, if not all at least the greater part of them, for food, and for the provision of clothing and various instruments. Now if nature makes nothing incomplete and nothing in vain, the inference must be that she has made all animals for the sake of man. |
