La cuestión animal: El Magisterio de la Iglesia católica en el contexto del debate actual

Abstract

In this article the author proposes to examine the ontological and moral status of animals in the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Before this, however, the Church’s Magisterium falls within the context of the debate, and open on ‘animal matter’, paying particular attention to the contributions of science and, above all, of the various philosophical currents that feed this debate.
