This book explores the social history of the anti-vivisection movement in Britain from its nineteenth-century beginnings until the 1960s. It discusses the ethical principles that inspired the movement and the socio-political background that explains its rise and fall. Opposition to vivisection began when medical practitioners complained it was contrary to the compassionate ethos of their profession. Christian anti-cruelty organizations took up the cause out of concern that callousness among the professional classes would have a demoralizing effect on the rest of society. As the nineteenth century drew to a close, the influence of transcendentalism, Eastern religions and the spiritual revival led new age social reformers to champion a more holistic approach to science, and dismiss reliance on vivisection as a materialistic oversimplification. In response, scientists claimed it was necessary to remain objective and unemotional in order to perform the experiments necessary for medical progress.The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,2634-6672EthicsGreat Britain—HistoryAnimal welfareMedical ethicsSociologyEthicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Moral Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E41000History of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Animal Welfare/Animal Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H67010Theory of Medicine/Bioethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H66000Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Great BritainfastEthics.Great Britain—History.Animal welfare.Medical ethics.Sociology.Ethics.Moral Philosophy.History of Britain and Ireland.Animal Welfare/Animal Ethics.Theory of Medicine/Bioethics.Sociology, general.170Bates A.W.Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut979846MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910231238003321Anti-Vivisection and the Profession of Medicine in Britain2234768UNINA
