Summary "The Ethics of Diet" by Howard Williams is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores the ethics surrounding dietary choices, specifically advocating against the practice of flesh-eating by presenting arguments from historical figures and philosophical traditions. It challenges the societal norms of the time regarding diet and underscores the moral implications of consuming animal products. The opening of the book sets a critical tone, reflecting on humanity's historical treatment of animals and the evolution of ethical thinking related to diet. Williams asserts that practices like cannibalism and animal slaughter, once accepted, will one day be met with the same horror as historical human sacrifices. He emphasizes a future where these barbaric habits are deemed unacceptable and highlights a growing movement of dietary reformers in his contemporary society. The text references various philosophers and thinkers through history who have condemned flesh-eating, framing the argument for a compassionate diet as not only ethical but shared across diverse cultures and epochs.
