Abstract Neopragmatism is a very general language-first approach to philosophical questions about the existence or nature of various troubling entities or properties. It seeks to un-ask distinctively metaphysical questions about these things by focusing our attention on our practices of using the relevant words instead: words like ‘true’,

This book affords a neopragmatic theory of animal ethics, taking its lead from American Pragmatism to place language at the centre of philosophical analysis.
