Exploring Entangled Empathy Ft. Lori Gruen Purposeful Empathy Hosted by Anita Nowak

Watch this episode to hear an ecofeminist philosopher explain why
we should think in terms of “Entangled Empathy” for non-humans as
opposed to "animal rights.” Lori Gruen is the William Griffin
Professor of Philosophy at Wesleyan University and a leading
voice in the multidisciplinary field of critical animal studies.
She is also the founder of "The Last 1,000,” an initiative that
documents how the last batch of chimpanzees who were used in
biomedical and behavioural research are being retired. In this
episode, she discusses how animals empathize with other animals
(and humans!), and what she’s learned about empathy by from
working as a professor in the prison system. 00:00 Preview 00:29
