R. M. Hare의 채식주의 = On R. M. Hare's View about Vegetarianism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

R. M. Hare has started to take seriously moral reasons for not eating meat under the influence of P. Singer and other animal liberationists. P. Singer suggests the full vegetarianism that don't eat any what kinds of meat for food except when it is necessary for survival. Hare considers some possible bases of becoming a full vegetarian but is unable to convince us that it is morally required. As a the result, he reaches not a form of full vegetarianism but what he calls "demi-vegetarianism". Demi-vegetarianism in which people are allowed to eat some meat is good for our health, has an economic efficiency. It also gives us some clues to solving the environmental problems.
But the overriding motive and reason in Hare's vegetarianism is, like Singer, to stop the exploitation of animals. After all, Singer and Hare share the same goal, i.e. improving animal welfare. In this respect, to become a vegetarian is taken to be a means of fulfilling the goal. It is difficult to answer the question whether the goal that both Singer and Hare share will be more efficiently achieved by the campaign aimed at encouraging people to become full vegetarians, or by the one that promotes demi-vegetarians. One answer to it is that at the present stage full vegetarianism seems to be asking too much more than, demi-vegetarianism does. To that extent it may be counterproductive.
