I’m wary of Kymlicka’s citizenship framework for substantiating animal rights normatively. Kymlicka argues that, since they likewise have a reduced capacity to exercise political agency, yet also satisfy the first two prongs, animals have just as much reason to be considered citizens. He criticizes this popular stance by analogy to sectors of society with diminished political agency-children, the cognitively disabled, folks with dementia-who we would (and should) never exclude as fellow citizens they still fully satisfy the first two prongs of his citizenship architecture. This third prong, Kymlicka acknowledges, dominates the understanding of citizenship in contemporary political philosophy (Ibid. The third prong of citizenship, democratic political agency, includes the personal capacity to, say, debate politics at a cocktail party or cast a vote. Citizenship’s second prong, popular sovereignty, denotes the liberal theory that a state belongs to the people of that state, not to, say, God or God’s earthly political extension, like an absolute monarch. First, citizenship means nationality-the right to reside territorially in a particular geographic area and the right to return if traveling abroad. Theoretically, citizenship for Kymlicka integrates three prongs: nationality, popular sovereignty, and democratic political agency ( Zoopolis, pp. Although philosophers such as Peter Singer derive animal rights from the intrinsic value of animals as complex beings, Kymlicka informed the audience (and defends in his recent book, Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights) that he believes any normative grounding for animal rights properly lies within a political citizenship framework-in considering animals as citizens. During his talk Kymlicka briefly touched on animal rights as a legitimate ethical concern. The distinguished political philosopher Will Kymlicka recently spoke at the Carnegie Council as part of the Council’s Ethics Matter series.
